Lower that 4x4! Haha it looks great, but seriously if you lower it about 1 inch it will look fantastic.

HAHAHA... knew that was coming but yes I am in the process of getting the springs... Quick question.... Once I have the car lowered does it need to be realigned?

It won't hurt, I would do it. You may need an adjustable panhard bar for the rear, but you will know once it is lowered if you need it or not. How low are you going to go?

I was thinking of getting the K Springs so that is 1.5 inches front and back. I am not a fan of the super low springs as it reminds me of the local Mexican gang cars... No offense intended...

Steeda Sport Springs are a good choice. You can go with new shocks later. I had Sport Springs on my 07 v6 and the 1 inch drop was perfect, imho.

I love the wheels! Ive never been a fan of those hoods.. but that's just me. I can see the appeal.. but I like a little cleaner look.

This is a pick of my old car a day after the Steeda springs were installed. This is with the stock dampers. I eventually installed Koni non-adjustables in the rear only. Made the ride a little better with the new dampers. For reference, my Brembo 2011's ride is stiffer than that car. Probably due to the 2011's low profile tires. The Steeda's made the car look way better and it handled very well.
