Yeah I have the progress springs too so make sure you get a camber kit and I'll Pm you later when I get some extra funds to buy that G5 kit I'll be pretty interested in seeing what you end up looking like.

Listen to everyone, you will need a camber kit. As for the clearence, your fine. you may have to do the side ways dip thing, but as for streets and pot holes, I think your good bro. That viper bumper is not that low.
