let me know what you guys think
 






Where did you get those coil spacers? Did you get them off E bay from a dude in san diego. If you did I think they gave you the the wrong spacers. I dont want to burst your bubble but they are supposed to have a single flat edge on the top rounded bezzle, matching the one flat side. I had to grind a flat spot so my springs would sit flat on the spacer. Also it looks like your coil spring washer is not sitting properly, it is all ****ed at a angle. I am not trying to bag on your install, it looks great, I just want you to be safe and would hate for your spring to slip out or somthing. You should check out my registry, I show how I fixed the spacers with a angle grinder. If you have any questions shoot me a PM. Hope all works out.

PS- I can also give some tips on allignment, I did mine myself because I cant afford a professional one right now. I have even tire wear so far.
