Yes, I am still lowered on the Eibach springs and the factory shocks/struts are holding up great! I bought the car new and put the Eibach springs on around 10k miles. I am currently at about 36k miles and everything is going as planned.

Could have fooled me being aftermarket, looks like it could have came with the car as stock which is great. Wish our cars had more trunk space but I guess its a sacrifice we have to make.

Thanks! I really like the look and sound of the setup.

Nice look Ryne, do you still have your Forgestars, and what are the specs on these new ones, like that concavity in back, seriously deep!

I do still have the Forgestars, they will be for sale soon though.

The new wheels are TSW Bathurst 20x9 +20 front and 20x10.5 +25 rear. Tires are carryover 255/35R20 Continental DWS tires all around. I do love the ridiculous amount of concavity on these wheels, lol.

I updated my first 2 posts to show the progression of my car mods in a story format to see how my car has evolved over the past year and a half. I will continue to update that as the mods continue and hopefully it will help people when choosing their parts by making it easier to quickly navigate through everything I have done.

Actually, I will be updated it again very soon...

Installed the Takeda Long Tube Intake. The install was a little more involved than I anticipated but overall I'm pretty happy with the intake.

I like how the story layout of the OP!

On a side note/question... did that Takeda intake come from Indianapolis? Or is it brand new? Just wondering as a local did a part-out on here recently and sold one that practically was brand new.

Cheers!

Yes, I met up with and bought the Takeda from Carl (IntricateDetail) - He's a really nice guy. It's unfortunate he decided to move on from the G but I'm glad we got to meet up.

Recently, we were able to get a few Chicagoland G's together at a local car meet!
