    H&R springs/Akrapovic installed

    Just back from the shop and must say that I'm very happy with these two mods.

    The H&R springs give the r8 a perfect drop. about a half finger gap all the way around. The ride is just a touch firmer, but not as firm as when the sport mode is activated without the springs. I'm still able to clear my driveway straight on, with a little room to spare. Highly recommend =)

    The Akrapovic exhaust is pure sex. Ajag told me he wants to make out with it. I'll let my iphone clips do the talking, but you really have to hear it in person to appreciate it. With the valves closed, the sound is close to stock, albeit a touch throatier. With the valves open, the beast is unleashed.

    The IND guys will have some more professional pics and vids up shortly.

    Enjoy guys,
    _Tom

    Oh, you should have looked me up. Always happy to meet R8Talk members on their visits to our fair city.

    Can't wait to see your car with the new wheels on!
