    Looks delicious! Don't see the need for stud conversions! I'd ditch the stickers on the wheels all together!

    Here in my opinion is exactly why going with coils over springs is the way to go. Although the car looks great, you are stuck with what you have. Another 1/2" to 1" lower and a ittle camber and the car would sit so great!

    Anyways, congrats on the set up! Looks great!

      Thanks, Derek! No stud conversion? What am I gonna do with the lug nuts now haha!

      I don't know if I could stand going lower than this. I drove around downtown and man, those manholes scare me. The ride is firm but not bone-jarring. It also doesn't feel like I'm on a carriage haha.

      No stickers, eh?

      Interesting option to choose... Please help me decide, fellow people!

          Any comment on whether to go blue or stick with red decals? I'm actually contemplating on whether to do the stud conversion... It's looking mighty clean with the bolts.
          Either red and blue will look great, red matches the tails while blue matches the body. Just stay with your wheels bolts, no point of changing. There should be a reason why the German geniuses prefer bolts over nuts.

            I'd say no stickers as well.

              I would also pick no stickers.

                i agree with the others, ditch the stickers. i also agree with Derek that lowering it a little more would be great. i dont want to get into a whole huge discussion on your thread, but if you get the right coils, you can dump the car and the ride would still be very comfortable. im low on "sh!tty" coils and the ride isnt bone jarring. i think that a nice set of coils with another inch lower, and some clear side markers and you'll be set!

                  Looks good. I would ditch the sticker too.

                    I like the look as well, losing the stickers would make it better.

                      I support the no stickers movement and personally a little lower and a size down or two in tires and it would be epic!!!!

                        Totally agree with everyone. put some 215/35 and drop it down and it will look amazing

                        I wouldn't worry about potholes, sure you get that odd moment where your heart stops

                          Oh man, all of you are animals! I'm pretty happy the way it sits right now and won't be going any lower. For now... ^.^


                          Thanks to photochop, I can do this!

                          How she sits right now:



                          No decals:



                          Changing their minds now or sticking to no decals?

                          I'll also have to periodically monitor the rear left. Detected some rubbing and the wheel well is a tad sticky. Perhaps my scheduled wheel alignment will take care of this? I don't know.

                              Pull your fenders, alignment really won't change much unless you do a custom camber job.

                                why would he do that? he's not even poking like mad yet.

                                after seeing the p shop, im actually undecided on the sticker.
