EMD eMMOTION lowering springs w/ 15F, 20R ECS spacers

First thing after purchasing the car was it needed to be lowered ASAP

Base on my research I decided to go with the EMD springs as they gave the best ride quality and ride height. With further research I decided with the stock wheels I needed to go with a 15mm spacer up front and a 20mm spacer in the rear.

These are the first pictures after the car was lowered.

So I have the S-Line. So any s3 rear diffuser fits. So I just found a s3 diffuser I liked and got a s3 exhaust and it fits perfect!

That's a really good time! My best was only 11.4 on 93 XL and 11.0 on E85. Think my tires are holding my S3 back. Nice build!
