Paddles finally came Going to install this weekend. Its kind of crazy how the grey shroud paddles cost $200 USD less than the black ones.. Supply and demand... Finally a benefit to having the grey/beige interior haha.

Does your Wheat Leather interior use the same taupe colored plastics as the Stone Leather interior? I imagine it would. 6+ years later, and I still wish my interior plastics were black.

Yep, they're identical. I couldn't wait till the weekend, so installed the paddles this morning. about 15 minutes. Quickly realized I didn't even have to take the steering wheel off.

My clock light died T.T

Thanks. 26.5" on all 4 corners. I had the wheels off and car up and down about 10 times getting it right. My OCD was kickin hard , had to be equal. Gettin it lined up in the morning , that may change a few things. Probably do a little negative camber in the rear.

Looks amazing!! Much thanks to Brad for his info & patience

I like yr wheel set up

I would wait on the alignment TBH - I set mines at 26.5- waited almost 2 weeks to do alignment & let everything settle in- it lowered to 26.25

Good man for doing all of the front/rear control arms & camber

Love those tein basis coilovers-

If u decide on sway bars it’s a big improvement on handling & stays planted
Those hotchkis front & rear make a huge improvement

What’s yr next mod- im debating on BBK or exhaust
