Good luck moving forward. I've been hoping to keep the stock wheels, but they just set so far in. I'm not sure what I'll do myself. Everyone and his mom has RTR wheels, so I'll have to look at my options. Likely won't make a move until these are bald anyway.
i use the car for daily driving so i dont think i will get lower control arms.

This. Get some spacers or some wide wheels on asap!

Actually I'd go with the American Muscle 19" replicas of the stock wheels. I'm not a chrome fan, but the chrome replicas of these would look awesome with the stance!

I put about 75 miles a day on mine. The control arms greatly improved the feel of the car. I have them on the "aggressive" setting in the relocation brackets and it feels perfect.

To each his (or her) own, but if you get a chance to ride in an '11+ with upgraded LCAs using poly bushings on both ends, take it. I think you'd be impressed.

Correction, everyone and their mom WANTS the RTR wheels, not has them. I've seen only 3 5.0's in my city driving around, and they've been all stock. On these boards, seen 3 people with them, of 100's of owners.

Sorry but to me it looks like you have two fat-asses sitting in the back seat along with a trunk full of groceries.
You're an ***.
