It all started when my H&R springs came in.
I was a little worried about these since I read somewhere that they are now made for the AWD model and would not give it the drop advertised.

Well... we put them on and achieved almost 1 3/4" drop all around. Not sure if its because I am V6 or AWD but I know they advertise 1 1/4" on their website.

Fittement was good and the install went fairly smoothly. We had not reconnected the sensors properly at first so we had a "some poop came out moment" but the fix was quick and easy.

After they went on, we decided to go ahead and get rid of the factory res and replace it with a X pipe for a bit more sound. Sadly the little more made me want a lot more so it all ended with a full custom exhaust today leading to new 3 1/2" black tips.

She purrs and looks amazing now.

Next step will be some Ferrada FR1's in bronze!

 

She's a beauty.

Do you have any video or audio of the xpipe? I'd like to hear what she sounds like.

 

I don't have any videos of it with just the x-pipe, but I will be taking some over the next week with what it sounds like now with no mufflers. Its a great noise, the popping is there and sounds better than ever, but at higher RPM's (anything over 5k) she does get a bit over the top.

 

Looks good but needs spacers on it now.

 

It's getting some Ferrada wheels soon (as in, whenever they ship them to me) which will have a wider offset to fill that gap.

Also doing 295/30/20 rear and 265/35/20 front Michelin Pilot SS tires

 

+1 for Ferrada !!!

 

I just put some Nitto nt 555 g2 tires on. I went with 305 30 20 on the rear and Im really satisfied with the performance. I dont track the car, pretty much just a weakend car for me, but I would recommend them if that fits your style. I paid a 1k at discount tire.
