These have the same OD as the factory and I don't really feel much difference in the ride. But keep in mind, my car is lowered as well.
Looks good in your sig. Do you have any more pics of your ride??

Tough to tell how much "harder: the ride is as this SAV was also dropped, and is much tighter than a stock suspension and 20" wheels.
How much did you drop it by and what kind of springs? It looks pretty low up front.

That is one aggressive look ride there.... Your rear wheels stick out somewhat...is that legal? Or maybe just from an angle looks.

it's actually flush with the fender. but because I haven't been able to get the rear lowered, looks like it's further out than it actually is

I have seen that AC/S kit before, but only painted to match the body color. Never seen it to match the bumper finish. Looks good though Love the LIPPP on those wheels!

The Hartge kit lowers the vehicle by 30mm (so an inch and a quarter) looks like more though.
