Thanks bro.. I like this set up. It all depends on the ride you looking for tho. If you want something a little more stiff then you should run with the Bilstein Sports.

Yeah.. I had my TTE lip molded.

Those Daizen springs really do give a very nice drop. I think that this is the setup that I will be going with. How does it compare with stock?

Rides very similar to stock. Not harsh at all. The KYB's are kinda soft tho. I think I'll go Bilstein next time.

Yes sirrr.. Camber is slightly off at -.25 degrees. Which is nothing. Seeing an alignment specialist is a must tho..

See my thread..

If you are talking to me, it rides just as good as stock. Only on drastic bumps does it feel a little harsh. But very liveable the rest of the time.

Body roll is very little, with a better shock it would be better though.
