Update on my mags and suspension

HI folks i installed a few weeks ago the H&R cupkit, i must say i'm pretty happy with my purchase. The only thing is that i find that it didn't drop the front enough... but hey for 610$ i can't complain. I also installed my 19x8,5 wheels with 235/35/19 tires. That was he hard part, since the mag is less think then the stock ones my bolts would it the parking break in the back. So i had to cut the stock bolts by about a 1/4 inch and play arround with it. Also my calipers would just slitly rub on the mags so i had to grind them up. All this to say that it took me about 2 hrs to cut,grind and install my wheels. But omg the car is pimping, ive had great reaction and boy people turn their heads when they see me coming.

I would like to thank you guys for helping me on my questions these past few months. Its been greatly appreciated.

And yes pics will be coming soon

its actualy pretty good, not that bumpy, the only thing i find is that when taking curves at high speeds, since my tires are very think (side wall) the tire rubs on the sides and starts to slip. i think i was better off with my 16 inch tires when it comes to curves. Cause now i'm scared that the mag will rub on the ground. And i think one of the rear bushings died cause its squeeking like a ****...
