Been awhile since you heard stock, huh? LOL!

Seriously though, you can not judge the sound of an exhaust through computer speakers. HAHAHA!

with the aggressive look you have given your 8, Id suggest dropping it. It will look 100 times better. Just an idea.

Tein S-Tech for sure, or H-Tech if you don't want to go that low.

Thanks for checking out my vid. BTW - Love the first shot showing the true color of the car.

H tech or S tech, you really can't tell the difference in height but the S techs are tighter.

That photo looks incorrect. S-Tech are lower, not H-Tech.

S-Tech 1.4" front
Hi-Tech 1" front

Tire size is affecting that pictures worthiness, pup's tires look a bit smaller than yours, so it appears lower...

I love that color rio!

Exactly, so the photo is misleading to those who do not know that S-Techs ride lower. Right?
