Default !4x4 on my SOM WS6 - Stranos and KYB AGXs (pics!)

I installed Strano Springs and KYB AGXs shocks over the July 4th weekend on my orange car and couldnt be happier with the look or the ride! I had a car show today and tried to get there early to take some pics but there really wasnt any good places or back grounds...so I will get some better ones later. Here is how it turned out (in case anybody wonders the wheels are 19s):

Thanks for all the compliments guys...believe it or not there is a lot of hard work in that car. No one besides has ever turned a wrench on it! (Well the wife did help work the jack when I was putting the springs on!)

I will settle for a 9.9....because like I told an old girl the the other night....no bodies perfect! (I hope she doesnt read this....)

But as for the front wheels...the rims are 19x9.5s with a 275/30/19 tire. So they arent really skinny at all (in fact they are the same as stock), but when you look at them compared to huge rear set (19x11s with a 295/35/19 tire) it makes them look smallish.

Damn, that car is nice looking man. I'm not much for big rims (18" is almost overkill IMO), but your car rocks 'em well.

Actually except for the common stuff like fuse box covers and some caps, all the rest if is custom chrome plated. Not polished, not poder coated chrome, real live chrome plated.
