Here's some pics after a good washing and letting the new suspension settle in...and thanks to AKAlius for the Euro stickers too! I hated the orange reflector.
Enjoy!

Not a fan of modding at all (Yes I'm boring)...
But this is one I can really,really appreciate!
Sleek, sporty and classy.

Beautiful!

It handles really well. It's a little stiffer than what I had (non-sport). I guess it's comparable to sport suspension, just lower.
I like it, but I do get the 'rubs' a bit with the 20s. I definitely need thicker skin when it comes to that aspect!
I was going to get the Konis too (saw your future mods list in sig) but I got a great deal on the Bilsteins.
