That looks great! Makes me feel much better about my decision to purchase 18 x 9.5 Z06 wheels all the way around. Can't wait to mount 'em

I think that hood looks best on white! Very nice! It's amazing how something as simple as springs can really turn the looks of a car around!

How much was the initial drop? Mine should be here pretty soon..

Since it has been a few days, how much more have they settled?

How is liveability with the pro-kit? Do you have to be real careful going over bumps and what not? I live in midtown Atlanta so the roads aren't exactly tight-suspension/lowered friendly.

It depends- mostly on whether or not you have long tubes that hang low like mine. If you don't have any real clearance issues, then you really don't have to worry. The ride will be stiffer, but you shouldn't be speeding over shitty roads anyway!

I just so happen to have LTs and 3" TD's lol. Still think it won't be an issue?
