Sure did, I installed Monroe Senso-Trac on all 4 corners & new strut mounting plates all around with anti-pogo washers front and back...Haha, the entrance is to the building we live in... It is a Tuscan style Condo... We really like it...

The first picture looks like there's more wheel gap in front but then in the second picture it looks about equal front to rear (I don't think it helps that the drive your parked on isn't a level surface). Just give it some time to settle and work in.

Hey Matt, you're absolutely right, I noticed that the drive surface is not straight as we live on the foothills of a mountain... I will find some level ground a snap a couple more... Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it...

Thanks Zach... You definately should...... The improved ride quality is a game changer, as long as you don't mind compromising a nice soft ride for a more direct and responsive one... In all honesty, it still rides very smooth, the only difference I can feel is that all road imporfections come right through the steering wheel, but I love that... Taking corners were fun, now they are an absolute blast...

Zach, I've been waiting for you to do something with that ride height for like 5 years.

No problem Damien, glad to help.
