Low, wide, and sticky! MOAR PICS!

Added KW HAS springs, 10mm (Rear) and 15mm (Front) Macht Schnell spacers, and 295/30/19 (rear) and 265/30/19 (front) Toyo R888 tires (thanks Richy Rich!). SupremePower did the install, and despite a very busy shop, they were able to get me dialed in a reasonable timeframe.

This is the only picture I took, but the stance is finally correct and oh my god the grip! Over 500 lb ft of torque is worthless without the grip to put it down. It was slightly damp yesterday, but this thing is going to be a force to be reckoned with on dry road. The KW HAS kit is quite comfortable, very similar to stock. The tires have a bit of road noise, but the traction is worth it!

MOAR PIKTURES!

After!

Dropped all the way down in the front, 1.2 inches, and about an inch in the back. The rear tires are so beefy that's all we could go without rubbing. I think it looks how it should have from the factory. Not tucked, but flush.

Luckily, I dodged the rain and the traffic on the way home. The tires are so grippy but the road noise is louder than I expected. Very happy with the drop and spacers. Height is just right, and the ride is identical to stock.

The height is Perfect on the drop. Yeah I heard the tires are kind of loud, just wondering about the rain, I know we don't get much but when we do it gets slick. Its my daily driver so just wondering, I have my son in the car with me every evening so that would be my only worry about wet performance, although I know I would drive cautiously in the wet. Bet the dry traction is great.
