Thanks, the fronts are lowered by around 40mm and the rear is around 25mm. Now, rear gap is 1 finger high and the front is 2 fingers high

Ride is stiffer than stock (I don't have sport suspension) but still quite comfortable. Handling is improved quite alot. The Bilstein B12 kit seems to get rid of the bouncy feel from the original suspension and now I have much more confidence at corners and there seems to be much more grip. Corners can be taken at much higher speed!

Bilstein :rocks:

are you sure its not the other way around? since you have coilovers, why not make it 1 or 2 finger gap all the way around? i think it would look a lot better, then an uneven gap.

Bilstein B12 kit is not a coilover. This kit contains Bilstein B6 stocks and matched springs.

The coilover set from Bilstein is called PSS9

Nice photos! Nice rims. Also, I can't help noticing how nice the car looked with those clear turn signals...

Thanks, I am waiting for the blackline taillights. Then all the turn signals will match well together.

I put the 20mm spacers because the rear wheels looked "tuck in" the fender without spacers. Now it looks more agressive and level out with the rear fenders.
