I was actually going to ask about that. So the factory bump stops need to be removed with these rdsport springs, correct?

Mike you dont have to remove any factory bump stops. I will warn you that it might rub a bit. You should perhaps spend a couple hundred to roll your fenders. I had the rdsport spring on my car with 21's and it was rubbing like crazy. After I rolled the fender, it was perfect, and now with KW v3's im able to lower it alot more.

As for the BBK 16' front and 15' rear, you have the same set up as I do. Its a VERY great system, and not only performs great, but its a real show stopper? What color did you get for your car!

I got the Brembos in red since i have a saphire black car, figured it would contrast better.

Nice. But unless you did something to the fenders, it WILL rub at some point. Have you driven over any sizable bumps/dips in the road at speed yet and/or had the car loaded on uneven roads?
