Default Lowered my WS6
I recently lowered my WS6 with BMR lowering springs so I wanted to get some updated pictures to share.







It started raining so I didn't get any others, sorry!

I still have the stock shocks so far. Car has 45k miles but I should have upgraded the shocks at the same time.
