i like how it turned out overall.

not a fan of cutting springs or tinted tails but that's just my opinion.

Thanks guys for the comments, I am happy with how they turned out too. There is no way I am going any lower with cut springs. I only cut them as a temp. solution to lowering untill i get Bags.

My headlights have been Fu**ed ever since i peeled off the blue tinted vinyl last year. I have wet sanded and polished multiple times and nothing helps... I'll just have to replace them. I am thinking of the black housing lights off of ebay... any thought?

Its not too bouncy, I had to put spring spacers in the back because i chopped too much off, maybe that is stiffening them up a lil.
