Looking good! Do you experience any scrubbing/bottoming out issues? Also what do you think the ground clearance is now from the lowest point? ~70mm?

Looks good! Eventually get some new shocks. If you dont, you will rub and bottom-out and you'll blame the springs, and then you'll buy some new springs, and then those rub and bottom out, and then you'll buy some coilovers, and... Just get some new shocks!

the shocks will probably not blow completely for a while. once they do i will switch to coilovers. i have not heard any rubbing but im on the stock skinny tires.

I seriously doubt you'll have any rubbing with the stock wheels. Looks good!

Still can't get over that color, it's amazing. Almost copper/brown in some lighting. I'm jealous now

I've decided to go white myself. I had Charcoal Tenzo's on order but then I had to drop the order due to family issues. White would look awesome, can't wait to see it.

voiding warranty? Maybe the suspension warranty but who cares about that. Looks great....I hope to do my DF210's this weekend if they get here on time!

my suspension warranty isnt even void. it says nothing (and ive asked also) about my warranty being void when adding aftermarket parts. unless they can prove without a shadow of a doubt that what i have done is the direct cause of the failure..then mag. moss wins.
