I do, but I am going to save them for when I sell the car.

I'm sticking with the stockies for a while. My wallet needs to bounce back which could be a long time...

It really rides amazingly well. I was surprised I thought it would be much rougher.

I love the color too. It's a pain to keep clean though. Especially because my work has a 1/2 mile dirt road to enter.

Do you need rear camber for 1.5 dropped? How about your alignment?

My camber is pretty far out but I think I am going to leave it. The Toe is perfect.

looks great, but I think you could use some spacers on there, would make it look 10x better looking at it from the corners.

I agree! I think I want to do the 10MM which means I need new studs too.
