Do these wheels have any testing certification? Via/jwl/tuv?

final price was around $4,500.... but that was with shipping & taxes to bring them over the Australia... not sure how much they charge for the US market, but since they are made in cali can imagine they might be a bit cheaper.
Very reasonable, since i originally priced ADV.1's are they were a fair bit more for something off the shelf.
Weight - not sure on exact weight, but they feel alot lighter than my 18" Volk GT-C's.. which are 2" smaller.
And that pic is sick! Is the drop photoshopped?

Yeah it's a UAS setup with 1/2 inch lines / twin compressors....
Am switching the struts to a airbag+coilover in one soon that should make the car handle a bit better... ( i admit the bags are a little bit floaty compared to stock ride, so will be good to get some response back)

I had the same issue, over bumps the weight transfer was no bueno. I threw some koni yellows in the back for now and turn them to full stiffness. It helped out with the ride alot. I want to sent my front struts back in and have them revalved but i dont know how long it would take bagyard to do that, and this is my daily for now

yeah the new ones i are looking at do not allow full lowering for the slammed look, but rather have a strut and coil setup with an internal bag... so you setup you coilovers & spring rates like you normally would for handling, and the bag is simply for jacking the car to get into painful parking.
(alot of lambos/porsches etc. run it)
that said... how much were your Koni's ? might look at that option even, as it's definitely the rear that feels most floaty since the bags went in.

I picked up the whole set for under 800 shipped from Fred beans parts on here. I ended up being able to use the fronts tho since my front struts are a shortened one piece air strut.
They'll def be an improvement over stock struts and were even better than the bilstein struts that originally came with the setup
