you say that like its a bad thing
your car is not ek9.is ej6 LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
props on the car. Thats a nice-ass ride. I never noticed the ek9 had 5 lugs...
Thank you all for the comments and the warm welcome 
Regarding claims to go lower, I can't go any lower cause the car won't go out of the garage. It will literally scrape to a stop. And one more thing, I frequently take the car down the drag strip, so if I lower it any more, that would increase the stress on the drive-shafts right?
The car is on full coilovers, meaning shocks, springs and top mounts were replaced. And the car can still go about 1" lower back and front.
Regarding the red lug nuts, I've seen the Rays ones on other cars and they seem to turn to a pinkish colour after a while...
About the intake, I agree that its not that much of a quality intake, but I have replaced the filter with a K&N one and the piping is just the same as the AEM.
Future mods - I've got a Miracle X-bar in the post and possibly some Blox or Skunk2 LCAs in the future.
Once again thank you for your welcome, will be glad to answer any questions

From the outside, in this vid the car had only the front wheels in 16", rears were standard as I was still waiting for tyres;

Congrats on the EK9.
You have worked it on the right route.
By the way, i am looking for that exact same wheel set for my EK, but i cant find them in 5x114. Can you tell where did you buy them, and if possbble the price you paid?
Thanks, an congrats again.
