Update and some selected post install pics

So after many Ks with the Bilsteins and the rear fenders rolled in, I still got fender rubbing with heavier passengers in the car but with only myself it was okay unless I hit a really bad spot. But I also found the 19s with RFTs a bit too hard. I can get use to it but the family sentiment won. The stock 17s wheels look small but are really comfortable and no rubbing at all with 5 passengers. I am back on the 17s. The only solution for me to get rid of the thumping completely on the 19s if I want to use it again is to raise the suspension or flare the arches of the rear fenders and at this stage I am not sure I want to raise the car and loose the "look" or flare the fenders.

The brilliant handling of the car continue to amaze me!

Here are some of the pics of the car with 19' and the stock 17s. Needed to wait for the non rainy days to take some pics.
