^ I think it looks good!

Even just slightly more aggressive wheels than stock would fill those wheel wells perfectly

Fortune Auto 500 (Broadway Static) makes a great set for a couple hundred bucks more than the STs.

Also, for the same money as the STs you can go with BC racing.

Both have fully adjustable dampers as well as ride height and both come with camber plates.

Whats key with these brands is that you lower them by adjusting the shock body instead of the springs so that full travel is maintained even if you're slammed.

Swift springs are also a good option for a few hundred bucks more.

I replaced my STs with BC Racing extreme drop coils with 8k front/12k rear springs running 20 clicks fr/24 clicks rear. Night and day difference in response and handling and an excellent ride for how stiff they are (even passed the wife test).

Ill throw a picture up soon.

I dont mean to make anyone feel bad about their purchase but the OP is going through the same thing I did, and I was left thoroughly disgusted with ST/KW.
