Also, Troy what kind of rims are those I LOVE them?????? (our car is the same color so that's exactly what my car would look like haha nice)
The rims are off a 2008 Lexus is350, I got them on this site in the classifieds section for $600 shipped. The specs for the rims are

18x8 in the front and 18x8.5 in the rear, the tires are just some cheap used dunlops that I got. The tire size is 225/40/18 all around. You can probably go all the way up to 235-245 front and 245-255 in the rear.

Right now I don't have any spacers and my fenders are not rolled. Everything is working great

You're right, they are quite a bit stiffer than stock. I never really realized it until my mom was riding with me and said "oh my God what did you do to your car?"

Quite a bit, I only have a 1 finger gap between fender and tire. Very good suspension for the money.

I didn't touch the bumpstops and was very forcefully advised against doing so.
