The rear links are en route, so the back should be lowered accordingly in the next week or so.

Thinking about getting 20mm spacers to fill the fender flares a little better.

Anyways, I'm lovin it! =) Will get more pics up when the car is completely lowered. Thanks for looking.

Wow, that's some cool photography and a nice ride. Definitely like those 215's! I have also ordered H&R springs with a 1.25" drop and decided to try the 12mm spacers. I wasn't too sure about going with 12mm or 25mm. Thought I should try the smaller ones first! Why do you need rear links? You should have self leveling suspension; and if so your dealer should be able to adjust the rear height just by reprogramming it. When you say the ride is 'firmer' do you mean stiffer and bumpy during daily driving or do you mean firmer when going around corners with less body roll?? I have the dynamic handling pkg and hope the springs/spacers won't make it too stiff!
