Just got my Type S

Well three days ago. Right now it's at the dealership getting the body kit.
I'm thinking to lower it, prices for springs like H&R, Competch?
And just wanted to say hello to everyone.

Congrats!

So what color, nav or no nav?

Remember to break her in easy for the first 600 or so miles.

Welcome to the club, baby! You will love this car. And as already mentioned, don't take her into the high Revs until after 600 miles.

As far as lowering your car... you might want to look into Teins. I know I will be getting Teins once I've put some more miles on my stock.

Part of the reason for the "take it easy" break-in period is to get the brake pads seated (see owners manual). I suspect that 600 mile road trip did little for the brakes

Heh, heh, heh... Then I guess you suspect wrong! Car is in tip-top shape with 11 months of ownership! Brake pads are just fine at 18,250 miles (You'd really have to drive I-5 to understand the traffic flows.)

But thanks for playing!
