Looks nice, Did you do new springs & shocks on all 4 corners? And the shocks you used are they adjustable?

good luck - I hope thats not the case for you. if you do have a clunking noise from the front at least you will know why. just sucks to have to take it all apart to fix it.
I'm happy to report NO CLUNKING :-)

I love the way the nose doesn't dip now when braking hard. The stance of course is great. The first thing I noticed after taking it off the stands was when I went to close the hood. You notice 1" lower close up too.
Lastly, it doesn't scrape on the mild speed bumps in our neighborhood... yay!
Measure 26" now. Looking forward to some twisty roads.

Wonder how long they will stay white? Oh and I painted the calipers while I was at it.
