The new end link didn't make much of a difference so I finally sucked it up and raised the front 1/4". Actually raised the driver's side a hair more to compensate for it dropping a bit when i sit in the car. Luckily It doesn't look too different overall.
Also happy I finally got a pic with enough sunlight that the wheels don't just look black lol. But now it really highlights how much I need centercaps.
