Thanks!! It's really a never ending battle. Unless you can afford coilovers or bags. lol I emailed BMR tonight just for the heck of it to see if they had any input. We'll see what they say.

Got an email back already! They said their springs don't settle, so what I have is what I've got. Guess I'll be switching them out one of these coming weekends.

Got my side splitters put on tonight. Was pretty simple. Still have the rear ones, but I'm gonna hold off for a little bit. I feel like they look better with a rear diffuser but I'm not wanting to cut up the rear bumper right now. 
Also got one side of the kooks side pipes mounted up. Need to do some adjusting to get it to fit right. I think I'll also pick up a ratcheting 15mm wrench tomorrow. Would make things so much easier.

How would the Boss diffuser look if I do go with a dark gloss charcoal stripe later down the road? I feel like it would be too busy looking.

Finished installing the side pipes tonight. I've got about 3" of clearance between the tips and the ground.
Might try them for a bit and if they're scraping on everything I might go back to the stockers and pick some lower springs.
Hopefully the roads get cleaned up soon so I can try them out.

Swapped back in the Steeda springs. Only took about 3 hours. Getting better at it.

Finally got to take her out tonight to hear the Kooks side pipes. Its insanely loud! Thinking about going back to the stock pipes. Its that loud. Could put some electronic cutouts in but I've heard they're a pain to fit and I really don't want to spend more money. I'll leave them on for a little longer before I decide for sure. Sort of worried about the Roush side splitters as well. They fit, but I'm worried they might melt if they get super hot after longer drives.

As for the side splitters, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I drove from Ny to the middle of PA for Carlisle and I was able to touch the exhaust tips without burning myself or going wow that is hot.
