Cut stock spring pics finally thanks to my sponsors A-Bomb and Maxpennmatt!!!!!!!!!!! Finally took some pics after cleaning the car today. Total cut front is 1 coil and rear is 1-1/4 coil. I used the aluminum spacers Matt made for me and we did the work at Alex's place! Thanks again guys!!! 
I took about 50 pics of the car today on my digital camera and got to work and realized i had left the damn cable i need to load the pics at the apartment so ill load those later. Luckily, i took a few with my iphone so id have them handy. Quality isnt great but you get the idea...
And before anyone says it... yes i know my V badges are in the wrong spot. lol The shop that tinted the lights and stuff thought the badges were supposed to be done too and pulled them off and painted them black. When they had to replace them with new ones because they messed up, they put them in the wrong spot and just havent been fixed yet but ill either be removing them completely or buying some new ones to have the flags done black/white and putting them back in the right spot...

Thanks guys! And i didnt know they installed them this low at the dealers? Guess i've just never seen a V with badges this low. I dont mind how it looks but id hate for someone to point it out or wonder if its a fake. Not that it matters or anything but you know what i mean. I just like it to look right. Im tempted to pull them off all together for that completely clean badge free look but i kinda like reppin what i have...
And yeah, i was actually looking at those caps the other day. They look NICE!!! Im missing one anyway so i need a set. Ill order them soon.

Never,
Your car looks nice> I'm about to cut my coils, same spacers from Max. It looks like your rear is a bit lower fender to tirewise, but the photo's look like the car sits level. How does it look in person, before I cut these things to your specs??

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I love the car. The pics on my digital camera do it a little more justice but this is all i am able to upload at the moment. And I def plan to have the lights smoked and the grilles painted black as well so its completely murdered!! 
Deedubb: My thoughts exactly... lol
Gulf M3: Ill trade ya...
lol
Kipper: Both pics are after the car had been sitting for a short while. The ones in the driveway were after i washed it and dryed it and the ones at the gym are after i already worked out so it had been parked long enough to settle again. After driving a mile or 2, the rear lifts up slightly about 1/2" or so. Prob couldnt tell a difference in pics but if you really look for it in person, you can tell or at least i do because its my car. When settled, it sits either dead level or maybe back end a hair lower than the front but when its at driving height, it sits almost completely level still or back end a hair higher. I was going to get the mighty mouse kit so it would stay slammed all the time and stay sitting right on the tires but i kinda like that i got to keep my dust covers on the shocks and also the fact that it sits slammed when its parked but lifts up in the rear that 1/2" or so while driving. That tiny but of added clearance might be handy if i ever have people in the back seat or a load in the trunk and considering my work has some MONSTER speed bumps i have to crawl over already, i might be pushing it if i go any lower. Either way though it still looks great and the mighty mouse option is there if i ever decide to go lower like ferny and mightymouse... lol
I currently have a guy begging me to sell it to him and im a little tempted but at the same time, i dont think i can replace it with anything ill like as much for the same price.

Thanks to my sponsors! haha
And yeah, i kind of like the contrast though with the silver calipers and black V logo on them. Considered painting them black but then they would just blend in and be boring. Red would be a little too flashy but i like that the red looks like a big brake kit at a glance... lol
