New post removed middle perch koni coils
Wanted to go lower in the rear for a while. Finally decide to somewhat do it.
Only removed the middle perch. I have heard people remove the whole thing but that does not really sound like a good way to go. Maybe i am wrong. Anyways got 1/2inch out of it.

All of those will enlarge your browser fonts. Just the same, you can do the opposites to go smaller.

OOOooorrrrrrrRRRR, highlight, copy, and paste into a text doc to see it. LOTS of ways to see it.

Definitely gonna have to hit up Reflective Touch this summer. Just washed and waxed the car last weekend and can still see the swirls! Used Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 Paste, too! Of course, I didn't use the clay bar....

Waxing nor claybar will get rid of swirls. You need multiple polishes and abrasive pads to re-level the clear coat. Tech wax leaves an awesome shine, but unfortunately it doesn't last very long and doesn't hide imperfections. Thats where i come in. :mrgreen:

I made a explanation of each process in a thread in the detailing section, it can help you understand each step a little better.

Nice fit; low, but still sporty and functional. good choice on wheels and tire profile. Noticing two different tread patterns, what tires you running?
