About 2 months ago i posted that i was sending the rims back to the manufacturer under warranty due to the clear coat coming off.When i removed the wheels and whent back to stock the car was so damm low i kept rubbing the bottom over the smallest indentation on the road.The car has eibach springs,the front drop is 1.2 and rear is 1.1
The photo i took is kind of close so you cant see the drop on the ride but yes it is droped

As for the body kit, it will not help your car in the performance category. As a matter of fact, it will make it slower. It looks hot now (nice & clean). Your best bet is to swap out those Eibachs for the Tein coil-overs (a vastly superior product) -or- Save Your Money!

I think your car looks awesome just the way it is. I'm not a fan of the body kit either. I think it makes these cars look FAT and not in a good way.
If you want to make more upgrades, I would go for performance mods like a CAI or exhaust.

I would also consider the tein ss coilovers,Iwould rather have better handling than just a few horses.The stoptech BBK might be a little steep in price. I saw in another thread that just the front will cost about 2,200.

Ah ha! Types1fan, I found your rims here!!! LOL! Very nice. Do you find that the finish of these Elbrus 106 rims looks a bit too shiny, esp. with the black accents? This was a question that was brought up by someone who got these rims too on the Audi forum. What do you think?

I think the Elbrus are a bit to shiny,When i was looking around i wanted 5 spoke and i wanted deep dish without a lip,and i wanted something diffrent something that no 4G TL had thus far.
There is a story i have to tell,6 months ago i purchased mahora 20's
they are made by wald international and i paid $4,000 with Toyo tires.I sent the rims back under warranty because the clear coat was peeling off. Waited about a month and got new rims.So happen a friend of mine wanted those rims,i sold them back to him for $4,000.
Then i looked around and found the same rims but from a company called avanti racing.I paid $1,800 with the same Toyo tires.
And this why i have some extra cash To spend on the ride.
I'm happy that everyone had their own opinion on which upgrade i should do first but i think it is going to be 1st the bodykit, 2nd the Takeda air intake.
