The Eibach Pro-Kit drop is 0.60" back and 1.20" front.

She put down 439RWHP stock. I'm not in a rush to improve power.

Needs to be slammed!

Yea - 20% would be just about right with the light interior you have. Not too dark but dark enuf.

You going to put the laser shifter behind the kidney grills?

Still undecided on location for the front radar sensor and laser shifters. I'm going to get a good idea once the parts arrive. I'm hoping to do everything in the lower/center grill section.

You need LCI headlights on it. The color is my favorite. I've seen one in Portland the same color. Anyway it had custom plates that said M FKN 5 it was sweet just like yours.
