It's stock ride height for now, the roads here in Pennsylvania are AWFUL with dips, holes and bumps. So I am a little hesitant on lowering it too much. I am thinking the 1.2" lowering springs by Strano would be perfect.

Or you could just go with Koni S/A, lower to 3/4" on the front and do a hose mod at the back.

They are VMR VB3's 19x9.5 45mm ET. I got them from a non-sponsor site, but they're all over if you google them lol

Yeah!! They ended up only having 35mm or 45mm so I went the safe route with the 45mm's.
