G on CV5's Matte Graphite Machined 10.5's
Hahaaa!! Thanks bro, I'll let them settle for now. I installed the rears and then removed the front struts myself. I took them to a local shop and they put the front springs on for me. After a couple adjustments, they went back in smoothly.

I've been super busy with some fantastic mods these last couple of weeks.
First of all, I would like to thank VOSSEN for making the beautiful Matte Graphite Machined CV5's. I would also like to thank Diego for taking time out to give me some advice on sizes and offset information. I couldn't be any happier with this combination and color contrast on my G. I've had my eyes on these for a while and it just looks perfect.
A shout out to all my friends on the forum for there help and advice as well. I appreciate it guys.
Here's a list of what has been done and some quick pictures that I took earlier:
1.) Fujitsubo Legalis-R Exhaust (Sounds Awesome & HP gain is definitely Noticeable)
2.) Eibach Pro Kit Springs Installed
3.) Front Grill Painted with The Duplicolor Black
4.) Vossen CV5's 10.5's F&R
5.) Dunlop SP Sport MAXX GT Tire installed 265/30/20 (Great Tire BTW)

Looks GREAT!
Couple questions:
1- What offsets F&R?
2- Do you have any photos down the side so we can see flush/poke/tuck?
3- Eibach Pro Kit is ONLY suspension mod?? No Camber change?
4- Can this honestly be driven over bumps, etc, without damage to body/etc? Or do you have to be extra careful?

Looking forward to that.
I should clarify what I mean by "bumps":
I drive the crap out of my car, on hilly and twisty roads. Not abusive. I take high-G relatively sharp turns, pretty often. I suspect there is considerable suspension travel while I am driving. It concerns me that on a high-G turn, my outside front wheel might contact the body with your setup.
Any thoughts on this? (directed somewhat at VossenWheels, or anyone else who drives with a nice setup like this)

^^^ Gotcha. Thanks for the info.The eibachs are definitely designed for more aggressive driving however, to be safe, you may want to go with a smaller size rim for your car (18'' or 19''). The pro kit springs do create less dive and better handling in tight corners/turns. So far, I have noticed less body movement and much better performance. I'm very happy with this setup and the prokit stance.
