I will post up some more pics of the booster soon. Its a CPP item and it fits like stock but works great all the time, unlike stock.

As for driving now that its lowered, If I had not gone with the Tubular A arms, it would have way too much Camber up front to be able to ride well. The Arms have 5 degrees of Caster built into them so even with 5.5 inches of drop up front, the camber is almost stock! Thats the big bonus you get with the arms. That and extra ground clearance. Now you can shim the stock arms, a lot, to get close to stock but I highly recommend the arms. Just makes everything easier! So to answer your question, it rides like stock, turns like stock, nice and light with power steering, and it really takes turns so much better. No more leaning over, just hugs the road. Turn in is much more precise than I had hoped for.
