Looking real nice man! Planning on running the same setup. Was actually looking into coilovers right now. How do you like those form functions? And how are your alignment specs without kits?

Function forms ride a whole lot better than my bc IMO! As for my lip kit it's been sitting in the garage awaiting paint!
