it looks wayy better dropped for sure..

if you change your tire size from 275 to 265 that will eliminate your minor rubbing issue

Thanks for posting pictures of your cars progress Jess! The new suspension definiately improved the overall look of the car and I'm sure the handling was a nice bonus as well
