Can't wait to see your baby rolling!

Hi Jason. Thanks for the nice input.
No, No no off-road for me!!!!! I'm glad if I can drive on the road without getting stock on an speedbump
The plates are if I don't have it wrong 5mm thick. I think this is the minimum thickness you should use to prevent the torsion/twisting of the control arms. For example 3mm thick is not that tough. And yes jason, you're right about the extra weight. But that's what I want to "invest" for an more stiffer ride. And the weight I ad by doing this is weight with an low gravity point.
I personally also can't wait to finally ride in an bug (after almost 4 years of not riding any bug)
