Default Lowered via H&R on stock shocks

Tighter around town and in general. However much more bouncy at high speed but nothing I cant live with for now. Still doesn't compare to my old Air Suspension but will do for now.

I would get some spacers, that improve some of your handling and looks. Mine is bouncy on the rear only, also was it a pain to install?

spacers would do reduced the recessed offset and complete the look. 18mm front and 23mm would nail it perfectly since you don't have the fender arch extensions.

Lx4life -I should have mentioned that, yes more bouncy on rear but front is solid and braking seems firmer in general.

Icono - I will do just that and get H&R spacers. I'm hoping it doesnt introduce any wiggle or vibration.

if you get the correct hub centric spacers from h&r you will not have any issues.
