Default finally installed

finally got my full length subframe connectors in, and boy can you feel the difference, the car feels firmer and tighter.



just dont ask me how much my shop charged me to install them... a simple job managed to take them 6 hours.... my head still hurts...

It feels like a different car... I didnt even lay into it cuz a state trooper was behind me leaving the shop, but the ride is nicer
