I like the look and I assume you kept the stock shocks. Is the ride OK or did the Hotchkis Stage 1 create a harsh ride? I ask because I do a lot of city driving.

+1 to that....I'll post some pics when I get my car cleaned. (It's just been too damn cold in Missouri) I also got the sportlines and love them.

Question though, I was going to put spacers on the car...but it looks like in order for me to do that I will have to get a smaller diameter tire or else the tire will rub. (I'm running stock tire size 225/45 F 245/45 R)

then got 30mm spacers and rolled fenders just incase, still NO RUBBING...

sportlines are great, get them, dont worry about rubbing...
