Looks nice, I like a nice subtle drop.

Re: After pro-kit (with pics)

They will settle more. I got the same kit. The rears were new and the fronts my buddy had installed B4 on his RS. I did new end links and bushings on the bars, new MOOG lower ball joints, EnergySusp front LCA bushings along with the already installed Lakewood rear stuff. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...A-Profile1.jpg

Re: After pro-kit (with pics)

You sure you have the springs rotated right (it makes a difference). That seems to sit higher than when I installed mine.

Re: After pro-kit (with pics)

those are the same rims that i got.... i which SLP made them in 9.5"s
i cant tell if urs are the hyper blacks like mine but they look like the silver ones. CHEERS! i like how they have no backspacing and alow the rear tires to continue right out to the fender well(not like stock which tucked them in=ugly)...not to mention alow rotation of the tires
