Rides real smooth...way better and more controlled than the factory setup.

I love the presets and how the car automatically goes to ride height upon start up.

Good stuff Will, looks real nice, can't wait to see what you come up with next. You get a new kit yet or just new wheels?

The calipers are so gigantic. I had to remove the Work valve stem and install flush mount valve stems to allow enough clearance for the wheel to spin.

Super series white powdercoat 8-pot caliper with red logo mated to 380mm rotor with light gold anodized rotor hat.
