Were these pictures taken right after installation? As in has the suspension had time to settle?

Looks like you don't need to do the rear spring mount mod from the side profile you took.

Hey sorry for taking so long to reply. Travlee is right I just picked it up yesterday. The rears have had about 3 days to settle so far the front only have 2 miles on them right now if that. I can fart and make it home from the place that installed them. I'm gonna get some new wheels with my income tax next year. And should be able to have them on before I pull her out of storage

Make sure you wait at least a week after spring installation before getting alignment. Looks good btw.

Hey sorry haven't been able to get on much. I went with the eibach pro kit was recommended by travlee. Found it the cheapest on ebay. I took it to get aligned yesterday but they said my camber bolts were stuck in the rear and they couldn't get them to budge even with heat and that theyed need it for a day. Im storing it monday so im jusy going to wait till I pull it out next year to get it aligned. Getting the fronts installed cost me 133 bucks. Was cheap as hell. I did the rears myself with a friend. I'll be getting wheel next year with my income tax

Thanks for all the kind words. I really like it!
