Where have you been living for the past 4 or 5 years? Ceramic coating is the way to go, especially on a new car / paint!

After saying I'll keep it stock, I finally caved after seeing too many nice cars on this forum. Photo has my stock wheels in the back so rear looks lower than it actually is.

Wheels: Variant Argon 20x10 ET30 wrapped in 275/30 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo
Suspension: H&R Sport Springs

Makes me want to lower mine... but I'm afraid, since I would like the shocks to last the life of the car, as they did on my previous cars.

the shocks will be fine with a moderate drop. It’s when people slam their cars that does a number on the shocks/struts.

The bottom of the left paddle looks like it's very close to the ACC lever. Can you still pull the lever towards driver with out hitting the paddle? Even with the steering wheel turned a bit to the left?

No issues at all, the picture is actually deceiving.

Thanks for the picture. It looks like paddle shifter is angled such that there's plenty of room.

I tracked my S5 once and there were times when I was searching for the undersized OEM paddles. I will definitely keep these in mind.

Are these a replacement, or do they fit over the standard paddles?

If replacement, stick on or pinned in?
