The last couple events I have been at full soft front and rear, and have minimal body roll.
I've always had my front shocks set slightly more stiff then the rear of the car. I like fast steering response and a slightly softer rear suspension that rolls a bit so I can feel what its doing but also not sliding around. It Really depends on your driving style, If your good at placing the car while having the back end slide out a little bit ever corner than I'd say keep them even or do what Tim suggested and run the rear slightly more stiff.

If not then I'd keep the front roll stiffness slightly higher so it stays more flat and then soften the rear so it rotates with out loosing grip. (I kept the stock rear bar for this reason.)

Meh, it would look good if there was an intercooler filling up the giant space, or maybe its just the angle of the picture making it look really big. I think they both look good but they both need a very small lip of some sort (1" extension at most.)

Super cowboy is now making the lip for the Sunny 4 fog bumper pictured above. The only problem is that it runs about 350 which is pretty expensive.

I may do that with the stock bumper. You seem like you are pretty good with that stuff, may you could give a hand. I just don't want to go screwing garbage on my car though.

Home depot garden/path liner trim stuff, cut it so its a bit shorter in height and use a heat gun to bend it so it fits correctly and will keep its shape. Get some aluminum flat stock, drill holes in it for the support on the inside of the bumper, a few nuts, bolts and washers to keep it in place and paint it flat black.

Presto you have a simple lip that looks good and can be made for like 20$

I don't think I would be good at making garden items look good on a car. Plus if I mess up I would have gross screw holes in my bumper.

You bolt it to the bottom where you cant see the holes, just like an OEM lip. That way if you dont like it, it doesnt hurt anything.
