Here is mine on BMR springs. 1.2" in front and .5 in rear. Looks low but has never come close to rubbing. Pm me if you have any questions.
Thanks, nice to see a lowered car with 20" wheels. That drop looks great. Paint looks great too, just polished?

The PP front tires are a tiny bit smaller diameter than yours, 27.1" vs. 27.3".

I would definitely do suspension next, as well as chassis bracing. The FRPP strut tower and cowl brace kit is a bargain and really improves the responsiveness and feel from the front end. BMR Cradle Lockout kit, CB005, keeps the rear subframe from flopping around during every type of event, not just hard launches. That one really improves the confidence you have in the car putting power down. As mentioned, BMR Performance springs on PP shocks is an excellent combo for improved handling and ride quality, along with looks.

If you get consistently below 40 deg weather I'd strongly recommend not driving on your summer pirellis and pick up a take off set of the base all season wheels and tires at the least, or those wheels with performance winters.
My brother was telling me about the BMR springs today, he has them on his 13' and it looks really good. He said I could probably just go springs now and get a noticeable difference, but for the price the FRPP Track Suspension seems like a good deal to get everything at once. I've already noticed the tires getting slick on the colder days so I have to keep that in mind. I can't afford both right now so it's either tires or the suspension.

I havent done anything other than a catback and tint, but I'm not out there racing anyone so stock power is fine for now. It's powerful enough to scare all my passengers.

I got a radar detector and dash camera recently and am glad I did it. It picks up radar almost too well (Beltronics Pro 200) and the camera is fun to get home and download funny things I see. I forget what brand it is, but between the two of them I think I have maybe $275 in it all.
I want to get tint soon, mostly to protect the interior from fading, the look is an added bonus. Cops around me don't use radar so I really don't have a need for one other than some of the highway which they use them on, but I did get a dashcam, I bought a Mobius? for like $65 after reading a bunch of reviews about them on here, it's awesome, great HD video and it turns on if it senses movement around my car when it's parked which is nice if you're worried about people messing with your car. I was going to use my GoPro but the Mobius work great, has a dashcam mode, and is like $400 less so I'm not worried about leaving it in the car all the time. What dashcam did you go with?

Tires, then. Safety & Usability > Performance.
