Hey CL peeps...

Man it's been a while since I've given an update. Here are some progress notes and pictures for you to enjoy. 

The first set of pictures are before and after pics of the J5 coil over system install. I've been privileged to be the first to test these superb coil overs and let me tell you they can perform. I'll have to raise it once the volks get in but for now I am enjoying the "high school" height...  I have the dampening on the stiffest setting for now and it rides on rails. I can tell the spring rates are stiff too because on certain drive ways my rear wheels lift and i lose traction...lol. Great job J5!! please check them out once these go into production. A big shout out to Shawn at J5!

My other update and pics are the beginning stages of the R&D sessions at Ark Performance. They are innovators!! check them out @ ArkPerformance 

They have amazing exhaust systems like the GRIP and DTS systems and maybe they'll privilege the 3IS with both!  more to come. A big shout out to Larry and Michael who I met at the Auto Enthusiast Day by Nitto event.

Please follow them on IG and me of course for all updates on this build...
