@Wellness Thank you! Its a fantastic car!
@Ringmeister Sorry I don't have the stock springs.
Seller, are the stock springs included? Thanks.
@Sxmyachtshop Thanks for the interest. The answers to your questions are below:
1. Standard stock exhaust.
2. Car has the factory Hifi sound system.
3. The suspension is not adjustable. Just has the HR lowering springs. (Its not too low IMO. I am able to clear most driveways by pulling in at an angle).
@1989speedster it has been removed, apologies for the error and thanks to those for pointing it out. The involvement of our members in keeping things accurate is very much appreciated and welcomed.
@Bennettm3 Yes tan interior pic is a mistake. Not sure where that came from...
Really stunning! Good luck today.

Hi Couple quick questions
Standard or Sport exhaust?
Standard or Bose stereo?
The HR springs are just to lower the car, in other words is the ride height adjustable ? As it sits its likely to low for my driveway
Is it safe to assume the tan interior picture is just a mistake?

@maxmoulton Thank you! The car got a lot of looks and compliments at Werks Monterey last month :)
@Sxmyachtshop Hi, thanks for the interest. The IMS is original. The 1999 came with a double row IMS bearing unlike later models with a single row IMS bearing which is more susceptible to failure. This is the reason I searched for a 1999 model.
RMS is not leaking. Its very dry underneath. Also, included undercarriage shots of the motor in the listing...
Cant get over these aerokits. this car is absolutely gorgeous! def seeing a spike up in interest .
Have the IMS and RMS been done at any time?
If not is the RMS currently leaking
