Couldn't resist 60 degrees and a quick test fit

Well it had to be 60+ in the sun today, with freezing rain and snow on the forecast for tomorrow but I couldn't resist I had to see how my new Forgelines looked.

Now this was a quick test fit car is filthy covered in salt, on stock XI suspension pictures were taken seconds after I put the car back on the ground making it look even higher than it really is.

I'm probably going to get a set of H&R coilovers when I put the wheels on for real because the 19's make the XI look even worse.

Anyway the crappy cell phone pictures...
these are the wheels in my dinning room.

now on the car.... I am fully aware the car looks ridiculously high and that my shed is on the verge of falling down. The rears look perfect the fronts could have probably used a little more of an aggressive offset.

more pictures to come as spring gets here.

Also had a JB+ sitting around I couldn't install as I broke my wrist and had a cast on lucky for me a co-worker dropped an 80lb ups on my arm the other day pretty much shattering the cast so I was able to slip it off and install the JB+ gotta get it re-casted tomorrow.

running it ~70% (in the 2 o'clock position) made a nice difference. quick cheap bump in power.

Looks nice. I did the same thing, could not wait till the spring to put on the 19's. Still rolling on stock sport xi suspension. KW V3's are in the trunk waiting for the weather to clear up.

If I drove on it the suspension would have setteled back down to what it normally is, would have looked a little better. Snows are back on now. Frogelines are back (getting me in trouble) in the dinning room.
