Here you go mate...

Thanks for the comments! In regards to the splitter support rods i bought them from racing_theory on ebay. They come in carbon fiber as well. These are functional and allow you to raise/lower the chin. It does come in handy when your lowered. The extra room goes along way to clean things or go/down driveways without scraping.

changed rims to clear brembos, nothing else has changed suspension wise

Great look, dude. So many exterior mods are just thown together. Yours flows really well.

Not sure what's considered "slammed"...maybe more than the 1.5" drop I have? I also have the FRPP Handling Pack with the K Springs that give the S197 a 1.5" drop. I still have the stock 18" GT 5 spokes with the factory 235s all around. I have the Steeda 20x9.5" and 20x11 wheels, should have the tires soon.
I think from what I've read a 1.5" drop is probably about as far as you really wanna go before there's an adverse effect on handling with the S197s. Yes an even lower look does LOOK cool but it depends on your goal. I love seeing really low stuff, looks bitchin but I'm going the functional corner carver direction. Trying to get the max handling not only for the track but keep the car streetable. I also have the CDC aggressive front chin that'll make the front really low as it is so I think if I go any lower I will have some major clearance issues.

Here's a couple new pics. I've only put about 3-4 miles on it since we dropped it. The weather has been really sucking up here in the northeast. I drove it from the shop to the garage and am just waiting to get it out on a day that is not raining. So the suspension should settle a little bit. I also think a wider wheel out back would help fill out the wheel well better than the factory "skinnies" LOL!

Not cheap. And incredibly....no warranty.

Also note...these wheels have this script in one spot on the edge of each wheel.

Strange they don't show that online. Doesn't bother me. Some people don't like it.
