but the right-most (parking/curb) lane is the ONLY way to travel Pico east-bound during evening rush hour!

Okay, I feel better about it after seeing these posts. Plus, passed a white G37 rolling on 19s on Pico today.

Who knows? Maybe our TV camera-loving mayor will resurface the road soon since he keeps talking about how he wants to ease traffic congestion going east/west.

Now I just have to wait these painfully long couple days for them to install her illuminated kick plates and deliver her.

Sport package all the way! From the looks to the performance, you will not regret it! I would say if there is a package that should not be missing in this decision, it is the sport package!

are you kidding? for a measly $2000 you get 19s that you can probably sell on ebay for $1500. you get the factory lsd, the better looking bumper, the brembo front and rear brakes, and the better seats, you kidding me.... its a no brainer. if your stressing over $2000, i suggest you to get a nissan 350z then.

yeah, you got what i meant, they are big brakes, compared to the non sport models. I just call them brembos cause it kinda gets the point across, if you say your car got Akebono's alot of ppl would be like huh? lol

lol. did you read the OP? personally, I wouldn't get the car without the sports package, but question was about the ride of the 19s & stiffer suspension on effed up roads and if anyone regretted their decision... cost was never mentioned.

I got the Sports package and Im in the Detroit area, imagine our roads through the salty winters...Potholes, construction galore. Just be careful I doubt any SoCal roads are worse than some of ours. The Sports Package is worth it. Just suck it up and keep stock heights, or if you do lower, don't go aggressive, go for the Tanabe NF210s or something.
