Beautiful. Is it lowered?

Thank you!

No, totally stock. Been thinking about lowering it just a little though... recommendations?

My recommendation is NOT to lower it. Its hard enough to keep the splitter from scraping on everything, the car sits good as is, you don't want to screw with finely tunned suspension that many very knowledgeble engineers painstakenly developed and refined. Also taking an inch out of already limited suspension travel is usually not a good idea. It certainly isn't going to help with real world handling despite possibly feeling "stiffer" and having less body roll. That doesn't necessarily translate into better handling.

Been considering the Eibach springs, lower it 0.7" front & rear. Ride stays about the same from what I have read. It's a small amount, so not gonna make a huge difference for me.

Come to think about it, not sure I've seen a 4BW lowered? 5BW is definitely a different beast. Those look really good with a slight rake and drop.

Thanks! I jumped on this the day I saw it. Only complaint is the sunroof. I would have opted not to have that but it has everything else I wanted.
