    Borbet reps (the only difference is the bolt that holds the centre cap on and these don't say made in Germany), was gonna pay $1200 for real ones but this is my first time stretching tyres and using coilovers. I didn't want to spend too much in case I didn't like it...but I love it lol. Can't wait to get them on the car!
    How out of alignment do front wheels generally go when lowering this much? Right now they seem like my dog's eyes.....


    I swear the steering wheel was straight but both wheels were aiming opposite ways hahaha.

    I got my NA lip from dubaddiction. Its actually smaller than the standard duckbill that came on the cars, a fair bit smaller than the euro one, I need it because a euro lip literally wont fit on my car as I sit that low I wouldn't be surprised if that other ebay lip you posted breaks as well, but you never know, for the cost of a genuine one you could buy like 5 of those so it cant hurt to try

    Car looks amazing man! those "Borbets" will set it off nicely..... You'll need an alignment after you lower it, lol. depending how bad it is, you can diy align it and drive to a shop to do it properly or just drive there with massive amounts of toe.... haha, love the pic for reference :p
