Then they complain about their ride being shitty, because they blew their stock shocks, and their car is so low that its riding on the bumpstops. One rason I haven't put mine on yet is because of the spring rates. The springs "say" 400lbs front and 600lbs rear, but i don't know what that will ride like (if those are the real spring rates) or how it will affect the handling. ANother reason i havent installed is because of the spring seats. To get the car sitting how i want, at least on my car, i would have to cut the spring seats off of the struts. Which i don't want to do. Another thing is that the build quality of the parts look suspect to me. The edges are sharp and jagged, and the threads aren't exactly "all there". How long will they last, and can they stand up to the abuse i put my suspension through. Right now the cons outweigh the pros, So i am just saving up to get some teins, megans or something else. That way i know at least a little thought has ben put into the design.
