Thanks! Yes, calipers will be done when I do the 15K mile service, which is coming up soon. Can't believe Lambo uses such boring standard colors for their calipers (black, silver)...these cars look best when they're rolling. And the brake calipers are key features when these cars are moving!

The calipers will be painted Rosso Corsa red with Balloon White script lettering...gonna look sick!

The G does have a bit of a rake to it and you can tell more so after lowering it 1" both front and rear. Taking the rear down the additional 1/2" to level the gaps makes a big difference.

Just wanted to update:

So I'm gonna have Josh@ECS re-raise the rear that 1/2 inch to restore the original slight rake to the car.

This is more for "cosmetic" reasons. The car drives fine lowered all the way, but on one of our drives, one of my friends noticed that while accelerating, the rear was noticeably lower than the front and looked too "dumped", so I think re-gaining the 1/2 inch in the rear will make the car look just right while it's rollling.

Hey LamboGator, I wanted to ask - do your wheels rub the fenders at all with that much drop? I about to lower mine. Yours looks sick.

Ek = (1/2) * m * v^2 = 100 kg * 89.4 m/s = 399,618 J / 3 ms = ~133 MW

It would be like trying to roast eight Turkeys with 100 Gallardos at 8k rpm.

So how much power does your Gallardo make?

About 600 Turkeys.

No rubbing whatsoever! Wheels are OEM Callistos with OEM tires/sizes, so if you change to aftermarket wheels/sizes, it could start rubbing, depending on those factors.

all u had too do is color your wheels black..... dark wheels on dark color cars usually trick the eye to looking lower .... too low is tacky if u ask me
