Lowered the 7 today (before/after pictures)
Springs: H & R Sport.
Shocks/Struts: Bilstein HD.
Wheel size: 17x9; 17x10
Tires: 245/40; 275/40
Time to complete: 2 hrs

I think the combo lowered the car 1.5" all around.

Minor issue: 1. Front tires rub inner fender liner if steering fully turned; 2. Front spoiler barely rub steep drive way (ok if go in at an angle).

Over all: Love the look comparing to before. And "TIGHT".

Man oh man, I love those wheels. CCWs right? If you don't mind me asking, how much did they set you back? I'm thinking of getting the same sizes. What offset are the wheels? Car looks much better now

Thanks. CCW Classic Street model. $2150.00 shipping included. As for offset to be honest and silly but dont really know...they never told me. I could measure and find out...

Beside the look...I think she will handle much more better...the stock shocks/struts aren't that stiff comparing to the Bilsteins.

just came back from a drive...and it is rough on back road ( I like), but handle great on S curves and hwy.

Do have tire rubbing inner fenderwell line on tight right hand turns. Woud 235mm tires for the front help?
