Congrats on getting rid of the SUV look.

That car looks real nice, I wish the blue was around when I bought mine. Chrome 19s would just make it look so much nicer.

The best part is, for some reason all the dead bugs and dirt didn't show up in my pics. The car is sooo dirty right now.

(I'm going to wash it tomorrow morning before work.)

Feels great.

Tech said the alignment should be okay, but if I really want to, to get it checked.
He said there's a chance it might toe a little, but the camber should be okay.

Anyone else get theirs aligned after comptech springs/sways? If so, how much was it off, and in what ways?

Yeah, the toe is what's usually really off. I do't know by exactly how much though. I just had mine aligned as soon as they went on as Jens recommended.

Nice pics. The car looks great with the drop. You only paid $150 for the installation of everything? How's the ride and handling?

The car looks great! I think I would have certainly bought the Aegean Blue had it been out a year ago!

Thanks for all the compliments. Btw, I just fixed the contrast on all the pics so the colors should be more vibrant, as they are in real life.
