Tutankhamon is correct. no bumper removal necessary. used my fingers however as a result it is not tightened as much as I would like so i will be replacing with those snap toggle fasteners.

Any way to plastidip and get a black chrome-like finish? Similar to what IND is selling for $105 or so?

spacers

Why is everybody asking with which spacers they are going ? Are there any differences?

Personal preference for the most part. But there are definitely a lot of inferior ones out there ie the eBay/china kind that I would not mount on my car. Last thing you want to happen is one of these breaking on you. There could be other issues as well such as fitment.

Springs and spacers are on! Spacers Burger Tuning 12mm front, 10mm rears. Springs are Eibach.

Here are pics for people's reference to try and show the difference. Overall I'm quite happy with the height. I'm told it may settle just a bit more over the next few days, and to be honest, I don't think I'd want it any lower.

Looks great!...and i agree...i would not want it much lower.

How is the ride so far? And what about the spacers....was it the right choice (12 and 10)?

My springs are on their way...should have them by end of week I hope.

It was the correct choice, 12 in the front is aggressive without excessive poke with a moderate drop such as with Eibachs.

The ride quality is identical to stock in the limited experience I've had with it so far. It's definitely not harsh. Firm, responsive and forgiving on poor roads. Doesn't jar you around. Very much the same feel as stock.

This was a relatively easy install. Love the look with the dead pedal. I don't understand why it didn't just come this way from the factory.

The mailman screwed up my delivery of the slatted rear reflectors

In the meantime, making some minor changes. Decided to get the front reflectors painted instead of ordering the pre-painted ones. Way cheaper this route



I think the colour matches pretty well I love my bodyshop guy



I also sent out my mirror caps to be hydro dipped in carbon fibre, again for a fraction of the cost of the MPerf ones. Should have those back soon.

Mirror caps finally came back! Really happy with the way they turned out. These are hydro dipped and it all worked out to be a small fraction of the cost of the M performance ones.
