Welcome Benito blanco to the Richmond thread. Any plans to mod the G? if so, what? Btw, post some pics when you get a chance and what part of RVA you in?
As for advice, stay tuned to this thread about any local get together, meets or car shows.

right now i don't have any major mod ideas, just got the G 8 days ago...tint is next up, not planning on doing wheels or a drop until spring at the earliest. definitely trying to take my time with the modding part while learning what i can from guys/ladies() like you all!

i'll probably post some pictures after tint is done. i live in the museum district...devil's triangle to be more specific.

thanks for the welcome! hope everybody had a great thanksgiving!

Welcome!

Pretty much what Tony said....

As for advice I see that you want to go a lower, if you have dreams of a slammed car I hope you enjoy the sound of frame/body hitting the ground VA roads are not low car friendly but most of us have gotten away with a small drop ~1" all around, that way we have the lower stance and no more gap between tire and fender
any lower and you might run into issues with your front bumper

Go with the Eibach Pro kit. 1 inch front, .08 inch in the rear. swordsman and I both have the same setup and it works well without sacrificing ride quality too much.

Awesome pix as usual Tony. Another reminder why I bought the G over everything else I cross-shopped. Still happy nearly 2 years later

i don't think the guys have had any issues with their cars being lowered to effect their driving abilities on the crappy roads.
