Looks great! The springs may 'relax' a bit over a couple months, so get an initial measurement and check back after a couple thousand miles to see how much more.

Is the pro kit the one that comes with the sway bars too?

Pro Kit is just the springs.

I am going to keep an eye on the measurements and see if they settle at all over the next few thousand miles.

You might want to get your alignment checked after a couple hundred miles. Looks great!

Interested to see what your impressions are after a few more miles. Want to do the same setup on DDC's on my car.
