Hell yeah man! That's PIMP! Looks like you either need to drop the front some more, or raise the front so it's better balanced... I don't know about the handling balance though, maybe it'll work better with the rear a lil lower. Anywho, HOT! I agree that it's time to get some skirting/lip action going on, CF is always the best on any car... Hehehe. I wish I could get some VOLKs for my car.

heh, yes, pebble beige does kind of mess with your mind

Now the next step, a lip kit. I'm thinking about maybe a CF front lip with stillen sides and rear....humm....

That sounds good...just what I would suggest. I think the CF would tie in with your rims nicely.

Did you go through the effort of corner weighting the coilovers after you got them?

No I have not. I adjust the height between seasons so it'd be hard to keep the exact same spec. Do a lot of poeple do this? (that is if i do know what your talking about).

Meaning adjusting the coilovers so that with you in the car the weight is even.
It's a PIA, but if you're doing any real driving ie auto-x, track day or even drag passes, it will make the car handle far better than just springs. The ability to corner weight is why coilovers exist.
