I am hoping for grip and less road noise.



Attachment 143047
That's what I installed a few months ago. I think I liked my Michelins more, but the Continentals are a close second. I do think they beat the Michelins on wet roads though.

Got the swifts on and cleaned up some of the wheel gap...should be perfect for daily driving and a nice starting point for driving a “lowered” car...

Painted the splash guards today... Not a huge fan but I don't hate it enough to take em off and repaint them.

Currently doing a 4th brake light install.

Two mods in one day! Super happy with the brake light. Hoping I got a good one and the bottom leds don't crap out on me in the next two weeks. DM me for any questions regarding the install.

Next week: New springs!

Edit: new exhaust is in the works too, don't worry

For real decibel reduction you'll want to add a coat of closed-cell foam (CCF). I coated the trunk, floor, doors, wheel wells, and everything behind the seats with CCF and the aluminized-backed rubber. The noise has dropped considerably.
