Some of us are really lucky to have a good local mod shop to handle these things correctly and fairly. If your in Ct I can tell you where to go.

OK, here are some initial mediocre pix. (I'll take some sexier shots when I have more time.) My mechanic wanted me to drive it for a couple of days and then figure out what adjustments we want to make. So far I like the look, but am having some rubbing in back. Not sure if we just need to firm it up or raise it a tad back there. Hopefully, firmer will do the trick, because I don't want to go any higher. (To my eye, there should be plenty of clearance back there. 
) FYI, the back wheels are 19x9.5 ET33 (275/30/19). I have no idea what settings we're at in the back. But my initial sense is that it's not firm enough. And, unfortunately, even though my mechanic is outstanding, this was his first time ever putting on KW's, so he's learning as we go as well. If any of you have input on the rubbing, let me know. Here are some pix:
