Default RUF Springs Installed on C4S :)

Got the RUF springs installed and a 4 wheel alignment done. Rides great, very happy with the looks as well. It was aligned to X73 specs:

Looks great. You've got 12" GT2 rear wheels, right? Any concerns there with rubbing?

Thanks guys. It is a 25mm drop. Handling is great, feels alot more sportier than stock, but not harsh at all. I do have the 12inch GT2 rears and there is no rubbing.

Very nice and clean looking upgrade. Was it just the RUF Springs that were required for that drop?
