I tried aliexpress . It was good choice, they look good, no problem with installing, shipment within a week. And price way lower than anything in Europe or NA.

That is a great pic.

Well, what do you think of the coil overs?

How much stiffer if any do you feel?

Thanks, I get lucky with the camera once in a while.

Noticeably stiffer, but not extreme and not uncomfortable. I do however have a high threshold for that type of thing. I like stiff.

Noticeably less body roll. Car feels more connected to the ground.

I'm at the recommended default settings from the manual. I may dial them up a notch since it's not a daily driver.

If you're particular about handling and want to lose some wheel gap they're definitely worth the money.

Nonetheless great looking ride. And great job.
Not complaining. For me, I don't want anything stiffer than I have right now.

Really nice pic! It's amazing how lowering this car ups the aggressive factor to a new level. I put eibach springs and spacers on mine it handles unreal. I can imagine the coil overs would be leaps and bounds better. Awesome looking ride, would love to hear more about your driving impressions with the new set up.

Thanks!

I mean, I love it so far. I've always loved stiff suspension and minimal body roll. I don't care too much about comfort, but this setup doesn't really detract too much from there. At the default settings (recommended for road) it's not a huge difference but it is noticeable. I'm really excited to dial it in more aggressively and see how it behaves.

This is why I'll never get another tint. Visibility is horrible at night and the reflections at night.

Don't get me wrong buddy, it look great but....

At 40 I don't have an issue with seeing. It's just the headlights hitting the tint right near the defroster lines creating a confusing visual. It might get better as it dries out, but I am not impressed.
