yea thats my 2.4TB.. its all on now and everything.. the tune went all according to plan but the only crummy part is i got some sort of vacuum leak somewhere yet.. its royally pissing me off as i have taken off and reinstalled the IM/TB TWICE.. my mileage is kinda taking a hit from this leak n me no likely..
n yea this is the actual color of the TB when taken with a good camera. im going to be doing my calipers, valve cover, interior trim, and coupe other things in this color as well
i took off my chrome grilles too.. looks much better.. ill need a sig update soon lol

Hey 1lowls, what size tire/wheel combo you running on yours? I'm about to say screw it and cut a little out of my front springs to get a stance back. I love my ksports but if you put someone in the backseat it seems like the car is lower in the back and it's annoying. Kinda reminds me of a car with saggy suspension, lol

My Ksports sagged in the rear with no one back there other than 2 10's in the trunk.Thats why I cut mine to begin with. 215/45/17.I cut 3 1/2 coils out but beware it will be easier to bottom out if you go that much.If you do 1-2 coils,it'll ride the same.

Well since we have a couple sets of spring compressors and I can cut them on the car pretty easy I'm thinking of starting with a half in the front and if that's not enough I'll go a full coil, but I just want a stance back and I gotta be careful though with how much I take out because I have a 300+ lb man that rides with me at least once a week, lol. I'm not gonna cut any out of the back. I'm running 225/40/18 (I think) it looks good in the back but in the front I still have too much wheel well gap and its killing me, lol.
