Looking good !

If you lowered it make sure you get an alignment done. You will not believe how fast the insides of all 4 tires will wear to the cords.

Roger that, I was going to drive it a week then get it done. Also, I'm getting 4 new tires (Hankook) at the same time.

Thanks for the compliments!
