Suspension upgrades installed with pics

I was finally able to have my suspension upgrades and spacers installed earlier this week. I had GMG springs and GMG sways installed along with H&R spacers, 7mm front and 15mm rear. Also had the car aligned to GT3 specs after the install.
Well......I'm in heaven, the TT finally handles like it should have from the factory, the "nervous, twitchy, ponderous" feel is now gone. The car feels rock solid and planted the steering perfect. I can't believe I waited this long. The other benefit of these upgrades is the new stance, the car looks great lowered, the stance much more aggressive......anyway here are the pics,
let me know what you guys think....

I've got same GMG set-up plus dog bones, control arm bushings, toe steer kit and cup control arms. It's like night and day.

Who did the install for you?

Beautiful car btw....congrats.

I forgot to give a huge thanks to Dan at Vivid Racing, he supplied me with all the components, great prices and great customer service. I must have called Dan at least six times with all my OCD questions, he was always prompt to respond and very knoweledgeable, thanks again Dan.....

looks good! I recently did the Bilstein B16 coilovers with RSS sway bars. Huge difference and I'm real glad that I did this as my first mod. Now I really love driving the car.
