There is a little bit of negative camber now, especially in the front, but considering that the factory setup is almost exactly neutral, I view this as a welcome development. The Pro Kit is advertised as a 1" drop, which is about as low as you want to go with the stock struts. Anything more and you need aftermarket struts, and that isn't worth the money for me. This is just a temporary stop-gap for me until I can afford air bags anyways.

going to dip my front lip like i see you guys doing looks good also will help on rock chips...

do you guys let the dip dry then peel it off ? or peel the masking tape off while the dip is still wet so its wont stick to the masking tape causing it to pull it off not making a straight line..

also how many coats and applying clear dip gloss ? i have one can left and its like a little under half way empty..

thanks

i let the plastidip dry on the masking tape. 3-4 coats. use a long piece of tape instead of a bunch of little pieces so you have a straight line. use one hand to peel while the other hand is on the plastidipped part, so you guide it. not sure about the clear dip because i prefer the matte look. good luck =]
