Before/After: Techart Springs, 19" Carrera Classics

Techart Springs: Arling/Tom @ Lucent
19" Carrera Classics with 5mm Spacers all around (235/35, 295/30 on 11"): Wheel Enhancement
Clear Side Markers & Front Bumper Plugs (Eric @ Bumper-Plug.com)]

I finally got around to detailing the car (3 step, cleaner, sealer wax, caranuba) so i thought it would be a good time to post some pics as promised. The car has no miles on since the Techart Spring installation and Arling/Tom said that the springs will definately settle a little lower than where the car is today. The wheels/spacers do a nice job of filling out the wheel wells, laterally. I'm very pleased with the look as I'm a bit of a purist and like to stay "close to home" when doing aftermarket adjustments and mods. It fits me and I suppose that is what is important. Would love to know your thoughts!

Before and after of front bumper:

MJones, if i ever do PDE in Birmingham I'm doing it with you.

Thanks for the note. How does it feel? If i drove it more i'd be able to give you a more detailed account. I think it feels approx 10-20% more stiff, less forgiving than the oem ride. Do i hesitate taking it into any corners, on-ramps or the like? no. does it look like it should? i think so!

regards

Nice improvement! We will have to compare notes on how the TechArt springs settle. I'm hoping for a little more on mine but still happy with the results. The car rides very nice. Lucent does a great job!

Looks much better with the lowered springs and the Sport Classics. Nice clean as it should be.

Yep was hoping OP would repost the pics...

Anyone know where the best place price wise would be to get OEM 19" Classics?

I don't mind them used but I'm just planning ahead on knowing which place would be good to buy them from.
