That looks awesome Paul, Nice size in the arch's. Couple of questions

Whats the ride like now that youve moved to 19"

And have you lowered the car? they look like they fit the arch's just a little bit too well!

Looking at it, I dont think it needs to be lowered, seems to be sitting nicely on the wheels as it is.   :happy2:

Rear Spacers imo, ride height looks good as is, unless you wanna live in fear of speed humps everyday  :wink:
