Congrats! Welcome to the paid off club!

BTW the winter wheel set up looks great. I love those for factory wheels.

Congrats on paying off the car! Now you can put that extra money aside for a big turbo

Spring is here! Winter was not too bad and we never had a huge amount of snowfall all at once. Once again the ST did great on the winter tires.

On March 29th I hit 50,000 miles! That's 844 days or 2 years, 3 months, 23 days since I took delivery.



Also last month I finally had to get new brakes - but only in the rear. Fronts are still at 6mm. They'll be up next probably later this year.

This past weekend I spent changing out the winter set to the summer set. Then I gave it a much needed wash. I didn't get to do a full detail but that will be coming up along with a nice coat of wax. So glad the weather is nice around here now!

I stopped off for a few quick photos.

Your car looks great! How do you like those coilovers? How much lower can they go? I'm thinking about getting those, but I want more low.

Thank you! I don't have any more modifications planned. I'm pretty much at full bolt-on and at this point I'm saving up for the future. I'm very happy with where the car is at.

I love the Bilstein coilovers. They can actually go much lower! I'm currently at the highest setting (I think 30mm) and I believe they can go down to 50mm. That should definitely give you much more low.

I wholeheartedly agree! I'm hoping to be there in the next year or two.
