I'm over in Grand Rapids, MI.
Yeah, I love my Ground Controls, expensive, but worth it. I have my Koni yellows sitting in my garage, they're getting installed on Thursday, I can't wait!
The ride is a little more harsh with the 18s but not too bad. I can't really remember what the ride was like on the stock suspension, but not too bad. All you have to do is watch out for any little bump in the road. (I didn't miss one and it bent my rim

)
But she's coming together, and I'm glad I finally started to interact in the forum, rather than just watch.
