Thank You! Oh and as for the front lowering blocks.. I had him take them off because it looks fine with just the back 3" but when you put the blocks on it raises the handles up 1" and that was very uncomfortable to drive in that position and I thought it looked weird with them coming up so far so I had him remove them. (:

you may want to atleast lower the front some. like 1.5". lowering the rear but not the front changes the suspension geometry and can adversly affect the handling.

Thanks for the info! It seems to ride fine so far but then again I have only went 12 miles on it lol! I kept the front blocks incase I changed my mind or better yet for reasons like you stated.
