Ya I never liked the rims. The offset was nice, but they were heavy and not much of a fan of those anyway. Thanks guys.

I didn't think the first one was bad, just looked like it needed the HH in the back to even it out

Looks good tho

I only have the one. I'd get more, but I have it outside now on a flat surface for a couple days and it just snowed and I am a wuss when it comes to snow. Anyway here is the front with springs.

The ride is great. Much improved over what it had before. The SLP's ride nice. I took the car for a 20 min drive and it was firm, but not harsh over bumps. That said it has a soft ride when you aren't pushing it too. Kinda reminds me of driving a new CTS (non V). It handles great, nice and tight when you need it and not harsh when you don't. Next time I will do the koni's, but not for several years. I had several things I wanted done before it comes out for the summer. I just couldn't get it all done and afford the koni's at the same time. FWIW it will be nice to know the difference between shocks in the future tho. Thanks for the compliments guys. On a side note the whole new setup is very light when compared to the old junk.

I would have definitely kept the other wheels though, way better than the C5's! J/k they were hideous.

You'll love the Strano's!
