I'm still working out some kinks... I think I lost a weight from my wheels so I need to re-balance them, so at the moment it's not as smooth as the old setup.

Gonna adjust the front suspension stiffness down to 12/16 and/or 14/16 to see if it's a bit more comfortable overall.

Also, I've gotten 4 alignments done since last year (old setup and new setup) and my car still pulls to the right It's like it "catches" something and just starts to drift...

It's going to be hard to see the amount of flare cause I'd compare it relative to the wheel, but since my wheels are 11" wide... (i.e. if I were to put a set of 10's or 9's, it'd look super sunken now)

Although I can tell you that you need to flare the rears until the liner pops out by itself lol

I removed the stock grill and put a mesh style grill in place of it. Once you do it thought theres no going back.
