I wanted to add that the original springs were replaced with H&R Sport springs when I replaced the shocks and struts. This lowered the car a bit and is a similar setup to the original \u201csport\u201d suspension of this generation. Other than the new suspension components and Bluetooth head unit, the car is stock and has been well cared for. Most of its life was spent in the San Diego, CA area. Front and rear tires are correct Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 N3 marked with very few miles. I\u2019m including new rear brake pads with the sale, along with maintenance history, the original toolkit, hazard triangles, manual/literature, two keys, the original CD radio unit, CD holder and replacement Carrera deck badge.
