i lowered the rear shocks by 1 perch since the tein s techs has the rear higher than the front by quite a bit. im loving these shocks, it makes the ride much better. its firm but not uncomfortable, and handles well without much sacrifice. the car definitely feels like it responds faster to turns and lighter on its feet(or in this case wheels)

Definitely agree. Love the Konis! I was contemplating moving them up a perch because I haven't gotten too great at driving manual yet but didn't know how it would look with my HR Sport Springs. Do you have a picture of them on the higher perches?

You're probably a good guy to ask about this...what's the best plug and play license plate light option?

Same for switchbacks...I would get tritons but they are on back order and frankly I'm not too keen paying that much for them.

For license plate lights best plug and play would probably be super brightleds 1smd wedge LEDs. I used to have them they look nice and all but bmws will definitely outshine you .

Switchbacks there's not many options, there's the regular 60smd ones for like $40 or there's couple brighter ones for a little more, but honestly if you aren't going with tritons, they'll all be dim in comparison

it'll look amazing, you just need to space out the lenses perfectly for a good combination of color and sharpness

^^^I have JnC doing everything, so I'm sure he's going to get me set up real nice. The video I saw with what I think is the exact same setup on his car looked fantastic. Can't wait for my first night drive and chance to get a picture like yours!

Ugh.. just went through 9 pages of TL-S LED PORN... Can't wait to pick up my 08 WDP TL-S and do some mods myself. We have a lot of common tastes in clean classy mods George so I might have to hit you up, coming from a fellow 626er. Keep it up bro. See you around

I can't see the images at work, but I'm sure they're awesome.
I have to research what you mean by spacing the lenses perfectly.

Great thread, btw.

Thanks for the information. I guess I'll pick up a set of spacers in case I end up doing this down the line at some point. As it stands, I feel pretty happy with the way they ended up.

Added some bulb input to the other thread!
