Default Time To Start Modifying

...My 7,500 mile 04 roadster. I think a good place to start would be lowering it on the stock bolts, but before I do, Im curious wether it will adversely affect the magnetic ride option its equipped with. The A&A muffler mod sounds good as well but I havent found any tech sheets for that as a DIY. I will also be bypassing the DRLs, but if possible I would also like to bypass the fog light relay interlock, making them operational by themselves and to then install a set of PIAA 100Xs. I also have a cracked left front signal / running light housing, any recommendations on a (stock) replacement appreciated. Thanks

Regards,
Keith

For the housing, I would go under the c5 parts section and post a wanted add, somehting should turn up. As for lowering the car with the magnetic ride control, I do belive taht will be affected. I believe I read were people have to bipass that. But I could be wrong, I don't have that option on mine so I didn't pay that much attention to it. Good luck with your mods!! All the people here are very helpful so I'm sure you will find all your answers!
