I have to say it's about 90% close to stock sport suspension. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. If you are going to get KW, I believe the KW Variant 2 is better cuz of it's dampering adjustability.

How many miles? I was going to get allignment soon. I know it won't correct the camber, but at least it'll fix the toe.

LOL, yeah, but with spacer, the ride is the same, I don't feel any vibration.

Thank you everyone for the compliments. I'm planning to install the CF lip, maybe this weekend. After doing a test fit yesterday, I think I have to raise the front a little. It'll sit too low with the lip.

I've added the CF Lip
I had some extra time today and decided to install the CF Lip. Let me know what you think.
