Default My new Stance = Bilstein +3 R / +5 F

1st thanks to my boy Guitman32 (george) for the install!

Bilstein PSS w/ SPC Rear camber (Thanks Adam at z1)
15mm Ichiba V2 on all four conners (Thanks Henry at Statik)

The rear has settled some since the pics...I drove them today for about 320 miles and it's dropped a bit. I'll do a more fitting photoshoot at some point in time...
Work Xd9s - 285/35 +3 Rear -1.8camber on both / 255/35 +5 Front -2.6/-2.4 camber, will be getting the SPL front camber arms soon.
Enjoy...

Leor, always an honor to work on that glorious ride and have an occasional cocktail with ze ladies

I'm glad you went with the Bilsteins. Your ride is without a doubt, status. And to think that you actually considered riding at that height...crazy bastard!

Don't forget to post initial impressions of the PSS when you're ready. Though you shouldn't need that long, as you just put 320 miles seat time on them.

Also, after riding in your car with these, I'm definitely picking up a set. I think you should consider deleting the rear progressive spring with a linear replacement. That will put you in a better place when you get into autocrossing and DEs, and also let you take the rear a bit lower when you're having late night gorilla stance cravings.

I just need to design and fabricate a spring adapter for the lower spring seat. Edit: Or you could go with the SPL pieces, though I think fabricating an adapter will be just as effective and much more wallet friendly.

Realistically i think that's a better idea then what we previously were discussing. I will say the ride is AMAZING...i'll do a quick recap tomorrow when it's not as late of how they feel and ride. And I will be more then happy to be your test car for the spring adapter.
I already have that gorilla stance craving...I can get up my drive way EASILY which means lower I must go! haha jk

Nice pictures. Probably the lowest car I've seen on a set of Bilsteins. You've got the drop with the comfort to match. You can't be mad with that.

Thanks guys at z1! I'll be calling you in the next few days for the SPL front adjustable camber arms!

Justin, that little bit of gap in the rear is killing me...it really is like crack! Hopefully George and I can figure something out!

lgear080, that mesh came w/ the v2. I got it from M1, dealt w/ Peter and Eric! Both good guys, they are now autoinfantry and have recently left m1. PM me if you want their details to get in touch. Not sure if they sell just the mesh.
