I would argue it's better to utilize a long travel kit when they come out, lifting can cause issues, but long travel will retain stock geometry, but also lift and widen it, and increase total wheel travel. Edit: I just realized it may be macpherson strut all around in which case lift is the only option. Edit2: I take it all back it's macpherson all 4 corners
