And very similar? LOL

I just looked them up. Solo-werks S1's are $500 plus shipping from ECS. Not a bad deal at all. 

They're actually $599 from ECS: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-solo_werks-parts/solo-werks-s1-coilovers/s1bw005~sow/

Was it the buy 3 get 1 free from ECS?  My brother in law bought some 18's on my account for $380 shipped!  For the pricing they had it was totally worth it!

Something like that. For the 19s it was $440 shipped I think. I forgot that you had the in at ECS, I should've asked you first!

That's true - it would've been real weird if I had kept the silver car

Will do, so far so good. They're a little more stiff than stock, but the car feels much better around corners. I'm happy with them.

New wheels went on last night.

Lost a center cap already?

Wheels make or break a car. Looks damn good for daily duty.

What alignment specs did you go with after lowering?

Nope, just broke one trying to put it in the wrong wheel.

Apparently the rear wheels have a slightly larger cap than the fronts, and I tried putting a big cap in a small hole. Never works out.

I have a printout at home and don't recall the exact specifics. But everything is evened out and in the green, except for camber. The front is at ~1.6* and the rear is at ~2.2* (if my memory serves me correctly).

Great angle to highlight the wheels

I took some drone footage while my girlfriend took a few pictures with her camera.

What drone are you using. Car looks great man!

Thanks! DJI Mavic Pro.

Just like that, the car saw tons of snow. Good thing I swapped my winter wheels and Blizzaks on.

Damn, you're right. It does look good on 18's!
