Looks good. I have the same set up on mine. I like the look and the ride is still not bad. Mine had the pro kit when I got it but it sagged way too much. I like this set up much better.

the car rides nice and tight its not harsh at all, it take bumps pretty good for a lowerd car but its nothing like people talk about koni shocks haha. The handleing is a huge difference but i went from shot stock shocks and springs, i have the settings on 5 front 7 rear and yes i did install an adjustable panhard bar, umi bolt in relocation brackets, adj lca's,the car is not to full potential yet because i have a flimsy old torque arm in there which will be changed in about a week or so. Also sorry about the quality of the pics i had to use my cell phone.
