dont worry about asking seemingly stupid questions most of us wont blow up on you.

strakes are just to give a little more "flare" to your 8. IMO it looks a lot better than without them. Never gonna take them off :]

Nice WWP! Did you preload your springs before tightening everything?

Good thing you did. Otherwise you would have to go back and preload them. I just put s-techs in on saturday so i'm still waiting for them to settle some more, then she's going to get an alignment.
