My ride with my 19'' wheels & suspension installed

Hey Guys,

Finally this past weekend I was able to put everything together on my car. I swapped the stock springs with H&R using #2 pad in front & #3 in rear, Also I was able to put my wheels on with spacers as the offset was 43mm in front & 35mm in back. I also added front Eibach sway bars & koni adjustable shocks. I must say compared to stock my ride quality is not bad at all even though I am running 19'' wheels. Anyhow here are the pics of my car tell me what you guys think.
