Very sweet set up man. Looks very nice.

How much was that set up and did you use a camber kit? Any rubbing?

Not that a stock Type S has a very smooth suspension to strart with, how does your ride now?

Crap, I just remembered I still have stock wheels!!!! So it still will look like garbage.

A-10 Thunderbolt II is the official name of the aircraft. Warthog is a nickname I'm guessing they earned from their beautiful and luxurious styling.
