unless i find a black bag on the side of the road full of money im not going to worry about this for atleast a year. 
wheels, and exhaust coming soon! Hopefully brakes and a drop coming soon as well!!
THATS WHAT IM SAYING!!!! plus my car seems to sit pretty low already. Im hoping i can get away with not dropping it. It cost too damn much

its going to look goofy without ANY type of drop even its the basic eibach kit
ive seen it in person and it just didnt look right at all
on the sport suspension, it is barely passable

Correct me if I am wrong, but if the rims in that first pic are of 19's, I am assuming AWG's car will have the same tire height since hers are 245/35/20 and 275/30/20....actually taller overall circumference than what that guy is running, assuming he's got 245/35/19, 275/30/19.
So, I would think the 20's should fill out her wheel wells even better...bigger wheels, same sidewall height.

Start with the M5 Umnitza front bumper....believe me, it's so much nicer looking that the m-tech in person, and on here. 
You can work your way to the sides and rear bumper later.

The only problem with the Umnitza is that there are no splitters that fit their front bumper. Umnitza's is a mix of both the M5 front and the Mtech front so neither the M5 spitters or the Mtech splitters fit. If you have your heart set on a splitter, Umnitza is not the way to go.
