Car looks good but you need full sun to be able to make that blue stand out the way it does in person

Yeah I have a few but the pictures don't turn out great, to much light. I'm going through hundreds of pictures right now t find a few better ones.

They're not bad. I don't think they are any worse then any other run of mill springs out there. The ride isn't overly harsh, and they aren't super stiff. The drop was about 2 inches, so its not the lowest drop of all springs. Mine probably have close to 100k on them. They have been on 3 cars now and they have held up to winters in VA and PA. I got them with maybe 20k on them they were on my base model and were horrible on the stock FE1 struts and shocks, but when I swapped them to suspension it was complete game changer. I swapped them on to new FE5 struts when I put them on my SS, and they have been great so far. I would definitely recommend using FE5 struts or koni yellows.

I'll be changing colors soon. I'm moving from California back to Virginia, and then the color change happens.

Your car is so sick man. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the white rims. Granted, I get that it makes sense with the theme and all. I'd rather see some dark gold rims on it

Either way, sick ass ride!
