Default Front springs installed

I'd like to see some pics with owners with stock size.
Here you go:

The fronts are installed and I love the look...not too low and not too high. Handling is definitely different and it's a much stiffer setup. Had an issue with the rear springs (I think they sent me the wrong ones), as they didn't fit fully over the shock and the lower control arm was slightly in the way. Brian with Fox Marketing is on top of it and is going to have Road Magnet call my shop to see why they didn't fit and he's been great and VERY responsive...he answered my email within 1/2 hour on a Saturday and I was on the phone with him immediately. There are 3 or 4 people who have had these installed already with no issues (or so I am told).

Let me know what you think! I had about a 3" gap up front before and now have just under 2" and it's a 2 finger gap.

Default Thanks Brian Fox!

Brian Fox - All set man! The new rear springs worked like a charm, thanks so much for jumping on that for me with the Road Magnet guys!

Here are some pics after just washing my car tonight with the full install. Haven't driven the car hard yet with these in (my 2 kids were with me when I picked my car up from the shop), but the ride definitely feels firmer. Car is a bit lower than I thought it would be (that's why I put the Pepsi can in there, for a height comparison). I can't wait to see how it looks once I get my new wheels on.
