Finally got my wheel centers back from powdercoating. I also had my car at my buddies shop to get the housings modified and painted. He did a damn good job and I couldn't be happier. I ended up replacing all the bushings and upgrading to the M5 rubber up front. Also added a adjustable Dinan front sway bar and a Euro M5T Nurburg rear sway bar. I bought new rubbers for those also so that I wouldn't be back in for a long time. The suspension handles like a go kart and feels like it has to limits. It is amazing how fast you can enter turns and you still literally feel like your barely moving. I was also very impressed with the ride on the Nex coilovers. I was expecting a much harsher ride overall. It is damn firm with all my mods, but it is not jarring hard. I am so glad I went with the M5 bushings because they are tight but also have a solid feel. Well here are a couple pics of the new stance. As you can see I was test fitting my Zender bumper that I will get on in the next couple of weeks. Also you can see why I went with slightly stretched tires to fit inside my fender lips. It is actually hard to tell how low the car is in these pictures because of me squating to take them. The one with my headlights on is of me standing up so you can tell how low the front is.
