Looks good, consider coilovers instead of springs? Dial it in for the perfect height.

Thanks! i wasn't crazy about the color at first but i saw the same model in nearly every other color and this one suits it best!

i have considered but i'm unsure of the benefits in comparison to just stiffer springs... i'm just looking for less body roll without a rough ride. and a simple install cause i have limited resources.

got these last week! they fit but its double side shitty taped! my heavy duty double sided tape along with some modification with a rubber mallet helped them fit great!

sorry the quality sux but i i couldn't get the glare off my phone screen. i also got the white LEDs on my side markers. more updates soon!

you can buy a $10 angle grinder from harbor freight.

(or i can send you a $10 angle grinder with the endlink kit for the added cost)
