get the ones for the teg of course so it is stiffer. you added more weight to the front of your car with the swap.

Well I just installed the fronts this weekend actually, here's a few pics, mind the dirty car. They should settle about another half inch or so, that's my guess... and keep in mind I'm sportin Steelies until I get the back lowered. Next weekend if I can find someone with Rear LCA's I'll install the rear ones and by then the front should be settled... I can take pictures then, but for now here's the front.




And since I am a loser and love this view here's my fav so far:


Hope those help

Scott

BTW They will settle more, that was about half an hour after install was done

I would say they are about 2 1/2 finger gap and that's a guess... but like I said... give 'em some time, I can't tell you exactly because I'm up at school away from my baby. Sorry
