Nice man, the spacers really set it off too.

I'd been wondering the same thing. Maybe it's the stock tires that are making the ride so rough...I'll probably decide for myself when I get new tires in the spring.

The stock shocks are not a great match with lowering springs. I had stock shocks with Tein S-Techs forever. It loooks awesome, but the ride is affected due to the mis-match. Just recently installed Koni yellows and reused the S-Techs. All I can say is WOW. Like night and day. I actually have a real suspension again. If you can pull together the coin to do shocks w/ the new springs, it is worth the wait and highly recommended.

havent been checking the thread for a while. I do like the new ride. It feels much more planted in corners. it is slighty harder than the OEM setup but not a lot. I am pretty happy with the ride quality.
