Checked out the pics and they look good. How's the ride? What was the reason for not cutting the rear bumpstops?

Can't wait for more pics. Keep us updated.

The ride is unbelievable, cornering is so much more fun now without the rollover I had before, bumps aren't nearly as bad as I had expected, I drove my sisters BMW yesterday on the way to get a part I needed and my car rides alot better than hers. While it rides stiff, it doesn't make it uncomfortable, and my sisters car is very stiff and I was amazed at the bumps I'd hit and how much you could feel them. I don't know, its just hard to explain, I prolly didn't make much sense, but I love the look and ride now. I'll prolly try playing with the settings a little later. And.......OMG is this friggn rain ever gonna end? lol sure doesn't look like on the radar.


oh, I didn't cut my rears because I'm gonna have to replace the rear boots anyway, thought I'd see how not trimming them would work, (if they bottomed out or not). only about half the boot was left, don't know what caused it, I guess they just dried out and deteriorate or something. I'll prolly wait till it warms up to do that.
