Nice. What offset are your wheels? Seeing a few setups with the GRs I'm wondering if I should do those in place of the Steeda struts, shocks, and springs. I'll be running 315/30R22s with a +30 offset. Not sure if I can get away with a 2" drop like Theos. How much is yours dropped? Looks pretty close to 2" as well.

Save ur money on the Steeda springs i had before you can barely notice. I think 9.5 but I’m not positive on the offset

I got the GS kit with dampening added, the sales rep told me that was best for daily driving. The ride quality is just a bit firmer than the h&r setup I had. The shop that installed it set it way too low so I decided to set it the height myself which wasn't difficult. The handling has improved in the corners but probably would have been better if I chose the GR setup. The only problem is the lack of camber adjustment. I was told the rear cam kit will fix the back but the front will probably only get me to -1 degree which is a lot better than -2.5 now.

Raised the ride height up a little. It's about a half inch lower than the h&r setup.
Great day to ride through rabun county in northeast Georgia.
