Nice stance! Fitment could use some work though. Are your control arms hitting the strut tower?

thanks, fitment is on my mind next week once i get some 225/35s up front and 265/30s out back

and yes, the strut towers do tapdance all over those wheel wells.(when im on rough roads) fortunately, i live and work around north houston(the woodlands) so i only see rugged terrain about once or twice a week when i go downtown or something
