The blade we used costed us about $70. Dam that thing cut so easy.. Make sure you file down all the edges where you cut it then paint the metal where you cut with rust proof paint so it dont rust on you..

Ya. It needs to be lowered next I think. Those are 17's right? If you want to ridden that big gap might I reccomend Tein spring :D 2.5 drop. Me and Jarrod both have the Sprint 2" drop and they drive amazing. Specially on Sask roads..

Definitely definitley lower it, at least a bit. The Eibach prokit is awesome for the fact that being a daily driver, you won't have to worry about driveways, speed bumps, dips in the road, underground parking, etc. Plus with a prokit (1.5" drop) you also don't need to worry about a camber adjustment kit.
Does that 'RS' bumper come with some 'mesh' to cover up that area (big hole thing) in the front bumper so you won't see the rad, etc... just curious. That is amazing Tyler.... can't wait to see the final product!!! :)
