Yep. Liking the stance and the feel on road with the TechArt's.
Definitely can feel the stiffer ride but I like the improvement. For those that say the ride is basically the same as stock, c'mon. Definitely stiffer and more aggressive. Thus far, not harsh though. I've had Eibach in another car before that was harsh. These TechArt's so far feel good.
With stock springs, I felt the car was too "loose" on the standard suspension setting, now the car feels about perfect to me. Tight and on rails. I haven't tried the sportier suspension setting yet as I drove it home and parked it due to my work schedule. I hope it feels good at speed on the freeway, over bumpy stuff.
I should have more seat time over the next couple of days. Thus far, thumbs up for Tech Art.
No "regerts", aside from the asinine amount of hours ($$) it takes to swap out springs on this car. I got a deal on new TA springs $575. Install however, was over $1400 with shop labor rates. That's $2,000 to do springs. Nuts. If I knew that up front, I might not have done it.
Only other thing to add, is I now have literally an index finger width of clearance getting in and out of my driveway. I will have to be very cautious, especially with the active aero.
That is awesome, glad you like it! I paid about $900 Canada Bux and another $140 for the alignment after - I did not replace all the nuts 'n bolts hardware.
Did that also include putting your exhaust together?

Apparently labor rates are different here in NorCal than there. 3 shops quoted me between 8-9 hours for install. They charged me about $160 per hour.
I think this is where the exchange actually favors us... but boy does it suck when we purchase from the US, the exchange first, then another 10-12% to bring it across.
MotoJB,
Looks really low...how much front ground clearance do you have with the splitter up and down if you don't mind? Thanks.
It's pretty low. I will have to measure at some point but I can get in and out of my driveway with about a finger's width of clearance. No issues with the front lip or aero being up or down, it seems...it's the little rubber shroud underneath that is the lowest.
I thought I'd definitely have to put the front aero up to pull in my driveway but I pulled in yesterday forgetting it was down and thankfully it didn't rub.
I have a finger's width of clearance on this part underneath, when pulling in the driveway:

Yep, Rhodium Silver.
