    Default My Calais .. Before and After

    Dropped the Calais off at the mechanics on Saturday for some long needed work... and missing her stupid.

    Thought I'd post some Before and After Picks...

    So Here is the the BEFORE ... and the after will come this weekend along with a new set of Rims and Koni's.

    I'm also getting a 10psi pulley installed and the engine remapped.

    I'm now tossing up what to do next - bigger CAI, exhaust, or rockers.

    Any suggestions would be great.

    On the exhaust note, is there any benefit in cat back or should I wait and get extractors at the same time?

    ..sorry about poor quality pics, better will come with the new Rims.

    Awesome thanks guys. I'd probably look at fitting it myself, might actually look at going extractors first then the rest.

    After putting in the camber kit on the rear for some reason my super low are so super low anymore. Has anyone else had this issue. Not sure if they need to settle again with the new shocks, I wouldn't have thought so.

    Might have to look into some ultra lows.

    Might just be straightening the wheels up makes it sit higher?. I haven't done it before but if that happens to my rear.. I think it's to high now.

    BTW Very nice Calais.
