Default Installation complete!

Finished installing my suspension today installed Koni sports S/S, Eibach sportline springs, B&M adjustable panhard bar, MM CC plates. Install was pretty simple took it around the corner and got it aligned so far so good will get to see how it handles better tomorrow on the way to work. The brake dive is gone and almost no body roll, what a difference. And the ride isn't as jolting as I had been expecting all in all well worth the money and time. Time for some pics.

The ride is great so far I have only driven it around 20 miles since I finished the install this afternoon. I had to remove the old bump stops, the springs came with a new set.

Now you have to change the rims/offset to fill that gap...see, it never ends, well it does after spending more $$$$

He could consider wheel spacers. They aren't cheap either.

Wheel spacers need to happen lol. Otherwise, looks epic. Koni's are awesome. Nice job!
