Funny you ask this because i just took my strut bar off. One of the brackets snapped while I was driving. Stillen refuses to cover it because i cant provide proof of purchase...but at the end of the day isnt it their product???

The brackets clear my BC racing BR Type adjusters with no problems.

I drive mine daily as well. I had to get SPC camber kit for front/rear with toe bolts. Highly recommended especially if youre going the coilover route.

Camber alone won't necessarily eat your tires. Its more the toe that's the issue. My car is more or less in spec but im running a bit more negative camber in the rear to help with clearance (I run 245/40/19 tires). By the time i notice inner tire wear....the entire tire is completely worn out as it is and needs to be replaced anyway.

Good looks. Did you go with toe bolts front and rear or just rear?

I'm getting ready to order the BC coilovers soon. Our cars will be looking eerily similar.

You gotta replace those dirty plastic tanks with a set of my matching aluminum tanks.

Super clean and loving the look......................................except for the trunk. I know I have beat this topic to death but the Strafe/HikkataDori trunk throws off the overall beauty of a well modified car with their sh!tty fitment. Drives me crazy to see a car like yours very tastefully and well done with the reverse lights that don't line up correctly.

Ruins all of your hard work IMHO.

BTW OP, you might like the license plate I pondered for myself here a couple of months ago. You and I have the same great taste in the theme of our mods!

I agree, we def. have similar taste in modification based around cleanness.

I hear what youre saying about the aftermarket trunks, the fitment is not perfect, but it hardly ever is. Seeing cf/fg trunks on various BMWs and Evo's...sometimes makes me feel better about the fitment on mine. The Hikka trunk was def. an impulse buy, second I saw it, was in love haha. No regrets here.

Don't get me wrong I love the trunk and have seen a couple that were really close, ttrank's comes to mind. BUT, if I'm gonna spend close to $1000 for an aftermarket part (part, paint, install) it better fit damn good. That's the only reason I haven't gone that route. I'm currently looking at a few options for a new rear lip since I won't get the HD trunk.

Car looks great though, keep it clean!!

Good looking black sedan. Very clean. Project list sounds tight - it'll be nice to see the changes as they happen.

Bet that sweetie is hard to keep clean in the winter time up there. I know my DG takes a beating during the winter over here in WA. Rain rain rain rain. Then it rains. Then it rains some more, snows, freezes, and starts raining again.
