Very nice! I especially like the drop and your Ralliart chrome.

Question about the paint for a Tarmac Black Lancer. The paint code I'm finding is X42.. but it comes up as a Tarmac Black Pearl. Is it actually a pearl paint, or is it just black?

That's actually a good question, I'm not even too sure on the differences. What I do know is if you take the time to get the car perfectly clean, you can see sparkles in the paint. Is that the pearl or something else?

The Teins are awesome! And yes, I am using the factory recommended settings for the suspension. You do however, still have to measure the threads on the body towards the bottom of the locking disc to get an equal height.
