This thread is long overdue.
Some background. I bought my car new in late 2010 and did a lot of mods early on. I got my stage 1 tune with less than 2,000 miles and now I have close to 30K. Then from 2011 to late 2012 I just enjoyed the car. Now a lot of the parts are getting refreshed exhaust, coilovers, wheels, suspension, brakes etc.

I'll update this thread as I get my pictures uploaded to Flickr. These are from last week.
The car sits higher since getting the new coilovers in. This is around ~25" FTG.
The handling is night and day with the Ohlins vs the KW V2, but if I'm honest I prefer how the car looked when I was lower. Sold the 18's now 17's only now.
I still have some parts that still need to go in, I'll update this thread with those and some of my older pictures.
