Just wondering... I see "midwest" "MI" and NC plates haha. Where were these lovely pictures taken? The scenery looks very nice.
Actually these were taken in Minneapolis MN. I spent the summer here with my wife and her family. Prior to MN we were living in Charlotte, NC. I'm moving to Michigan for business school this week. Confusing I know...haha! I'll have MI plates on pretty soon.

Thanks man. It has about a finger gap in the front and finger and a half in the rear. The angles on some of the shots may make it look like it's sitting higher thank it is.

Thanks! I went with the FSDs based on experience (had them on my last car) and I feel they work well for daily driving. They are comfortable yet provide ample dampening during spirited driving. I think based on reviews the yellow shocks provide better handling, but take away from the comfort just a bit. There is typically a trade off.

My friend did. All pics were done with a Nikon D700. For the rolling shots he used a 19.0-35.0 mm f/3.5-4.5 - not sure what brand though.
#3, 6, 7 Nikon 50.0 mm f/1.4

Actually this is a 18" staggered OEM sport package set up with style 264 wheels. There is absolutely no rubbing with the spacers and drop though. I'm going to run a wider 225/255 set up next summer on these wheels.

what can you tell me about the improvement of the suspension both ride and handling. this is the only thing holding me back.
BTW
Improved handling dynamics and slighly more comfortable than the stock set up. It's great for daily driving. I don't track or autocross though. If I did, coilovers would be the choice.
