Next mod was big **** holes in my front bumper to mount the mitsu license plate frame. Scary but happy I did it.

The first things I did were get it tinted and cf wrap the interior trim pieces cuz I couldn't stand the plastics. My car's 2 weeks old now n I've installed HIDs, debadged the trunk, installed HKS tt, ARC shift knob, ordered the Do-Luck duckbill and the BLITZ carbon intake's going in on Monday.

Shift knob. Because whoever thought an aluminum shift knob in the heat or the cold was a good idea, needs a kick in his knobs.

Wheel Gap via Eibach Pro-Kit

Now, I'm worried it may be too low.

Eibach Pro Kit, it lists itself at -1.6" / -1.0", although the data on the site here lists it as -1.2" / -1.0". By eyeball, I'd say it's got that extra 0.4" as listed by the manufacturer.

At first I thought that about half that drop would have been fine. Now, I think it's peachy. We'll see how I feel as I scrape the lip and/or catch road debris I might have driven over. meh.

As far as performance... since the springs are semi-progressive, I don't really notice a difference driving at 8/10s or below on the street. Actually, if I was to whine about any of the Evo X's suspension or handling deficiencies, they would begin and end on its excessive weight. That said, the lower you are into the performance envelope, the less odious it is.
