Super excited

Not the easiest swap I've ever done, but appears to be worth it. Alignment in the morning and we will see how it rides!

Awesome. Definitely report back. I'm getting Koni yellows and powerflex street subframe inserts installed next weekend. Also let us know what settings you're running on the Koni's.

Love the blacked out corners on your headlight. Looks sweet with the black bits on the front

Thanks! They are vinyl overlays I got from a vendor on here. I think the splitters are iCarbon, I bought them used.

The ride is great. The Konis are on full stiff I think. The Cobb springs are like 148lbs front (stock M Sport is around 142 I think) and the rears are 460ish lbs which is quite a bit stiffer but rides amazingly well.

My alignment ended up as follows:

Front camber: -2.0 (maxed)
Caster: +7
Toe: 1/16th in

Rear camber: -2.2
Toe: 0

Yeah not ideal (but so much better than stock!) but looks like I will be ordering the Dinan camber plates and Cobb swaybar asap.

But - so far every penny spent has been well worth it. I love this car and each little tweak is just unlocking more amazingness.
