Zero problems across many North East and Mid-Atlantic miles. Except for the raccoon last summer. RIP lip.

I am also running H&R sport springs with B8s and have them shimmed up just slightly to get to the bottom of the GT2 ride height spec

One more from my visit to Del Boca Vista last year.

Like most others here, was initially set to GT2 ride height (25 7/8 R, 25 3/8 F) when he installed the Ohlins.

While I think just like you with my parking techniques, one cautionary tale: in college my roommate drove an old school Mazda RX-7 (in the 80s), and he always parked next to the dumpster to avoid dings. One day we heard a huge crashing sound and went to the parking lot - the garbage truck didn't get the forks through the garbage bin correctly, and when he lifted the bin it shifted and rolled off the forks, right onto the roof of my friend's RX-7. Not only was his car crushed and totaled, it was covered in garbage from a college-student-filled apartment complex. It was quite a scene.

I'd be worried about that gate swinging all the way around and hitting the front of my car too.

LMAO at the Gentlemen's Club photo! Did you stop for a quick lube, head job, or full detail? I hope you used PPF!

They are repainted Speed Yellow, they were originally red.

You can call suncoast for speed yellow high heat caliper paint and the decal. I would leave it alone if you track.

Careful with the yellow 4 piston calipers, you might get accused of being a poser.
