Car looks great. I got caught in a hail storm back in July in Virginia. Hail stones the size of quarters and no place to go from trees blocking the road. One month of ownership luckily when I stop to assess the damage there was none. I have seen other cars damage from hail not a easy or cheap repair.

Awesome looking fit! How do you like the Tein Basics? And what are you wheel/tire specs?

15x7 +38. 205/50s 15"s

Shock bodies are too long so when you lower the car there's not enough travel. Trying to figure out what our solution is going to be.

lower no more than an inch or so....or get a coilover that doesn't adjust height by adjusting preload. You need one with a threaded shock body.

I thought she had Buddy Club coilovers on her car... I based her opinion and feedback on them and got a set and installed them on my car... They are just as she said they would be and I'm happy.

Just keep them silver until I sell mine and then you can have a second set in blue. I have one silver set and one green

I love the look of polished aluminum so much that when a kid I would polish my mother's Kirby vacuum cleaner every time she would vacuum the floor.. I think I spent more money on Semi-Chrome and Flitz metal polish than I did on gasoline when I was into British and Harley-Davidson motorcycles. I'm not as obsessed anymore but I still like the look .

haha we actually put them on Monday because my summer tires were getting pretty bad in the rain (ordered new ones tonight Hankook 437s) so we put my snows on for safety! They'll be back full time probably in late October or November!
