Looks like you've got a nice start, get some wheels and you'll be in good shape. I like the stock 17's but once you've seen enough GS's on 19's or 20's they start looking small. Are those Magnaflow tips on the mufflers? I'm planning on doing a Magnaflow setup next spring but I'd like tips that are just a little less subtle than what you've got.

I didn't notice much of a difference with my df210's over the first week or two, I think they were pretty close to where they ended up right away. I have no gap in the front with 245/35/20 and a very tiny gap in the rear with 275/30/20; the drop is just about perfect for my tastes. These are a little bigger OD (3-4%) than the stock wheels. I got used to the ride pretty quickly, I'm on stock shocks till they wear out too, the ride's not bad, nowhere near as floaty as stock but not quite as smooth either; I switched to the 20's from stock 16's at the same time so it's not exactly an accurate comparison in my situation. I'd recommend the df210's for someone looking for a spring setup though, I've been very happy with mine.

The car has factory tips welded back onto the magnaflow mufflers. Thanks for all the comments guys, hopefully I will be doing a deal with a forum member to get some 19's on next week! I am still going to get a few more pics up too for you guys.

Looks nice but I have a question. Did that dog tinkle on your car?
