Hi Linnboi,

the picture above after you lower the Bilstein to it's max 2 inch lowering?
wow, that is not as low as I expected...

could you please post more pictures from the side so we can get clearer view of the lowered position?

and I thought you are in New Jersey, but your plates looks like you are in California?

by the way, I already ordered my Bilstein and my SPC camber bolt, so soon
I will be following your foot step

Oh, one more question, do you get any Bilstein sticker inside the Bilstein coil over package?
if you have, how large was the sticker, and how many?
Thanks

Mugen rear section fit well on the 2012? I've got a 2013 that I'm looking for an axleback system for and it seems hard to find a good system that 'Fits'. I'm assuming the 12 and 13 are pretty identical for parts fitment.

How well do the 205/50's work on the stock wheels? I've contemplated going this route as well without buying wheels to see how it would improve handling/save me money on having to buy wheels. Any noticeable difference?

yes 09-13 the rear fits muffler and rear bumper

09-11 only fits front mugen lip

I follow your idea of using the lowest setting on my Bilstein,
just get back from testing (and stop by at Mc Donalds)...
it doesn't work for me hahaha...

all at lowest setting, I also use SPC camber bolt, but perhaps I did not get the maximum camber yet,
cause my front tire rubbing like crazy on every dips !!!
but mine is 225 tire and 18in wheel so it is expected...
I need to do alignment and perhaps second fender rolling hahaha

anyway, I am going to raise my front Bilstein tomorrow, cause at this moment
the rear still have 1.5 finger gap, the front like half finger gap...
(currently both front and rear currently at lowest setting)...
and I prefer same gap front and rear...
