Thank you. They are the MMD struts from AM. Got them for ~$60 during their Black Friday sale.

Very sharp! Thanks for the extra pics. Other pics I had seen of those wheels they still looked like regular silver to me, but your pics show that they're clearly darker. Do you know what the weight difference, if any, is between that set up you got and the regular Track Package wheels and tires?

I do. The wheels are 26lbs vs 31lbs for the TP wheels. But the tires I got are 33lbs () vs 27lbs for the PZeros. So overall the new setup is 1lb per corner heavier than stock. I think the wider, slightly taller tire is worth it.

Car and driver did a comparo of ultra grippy tires. The PZeros were 9th and
the Potenza S04s were 2nd. In my mind it's worth the extra 4 pounds for my track weekend setup. Here is the link if you're interested:

Thanks! Yeah, I'm still on stock sus. I'm worried if I drop her, I'll scrape the chin spoiler on everything.

Nah... you'll be fine. Go with a modest 1.0" drop. That's what I'm running currently. I was on K springs 1.5", but now that I have the 1.0", I enjoy it more from a looks and function standpoint. And steeda springs rock. You'll notice the handling benefits almost immediately.

I've been thinking about ditching the K's as well, didn't take a turn at the right angle and got a tiny crack in my chin spoiler over the weekend :/

Thanks, Burton! I have the quad tip Corsa sports for the GT500, coupled with ARH 1-7/8" headers w/ offroad h-pipe. They cruise and idle quiet(ish), but just a slight tip of the throttle wakes them up and they scream... almost enough to drown out the whine from the supercharger, almost lol

Nothing wrong with them at all. I enjoyed them when I had them on. Maybe I'm getting older lol. But I prefer a modest drop. For when I had them on however, they handled well and felt good, albeit too close to the bumpstops

Nice Mikey... I can imagine that gets pretty raucous with an offroad H. I have the Borla X and OTA (no res), so, you're right, a tip of the throttle and she announces her presence, to the chagrin (and delight) of everyone on the road. LOL.

Nice set of mods, and the Velgens look great.
