but if you don't mind bad ride quality and only care about it looking slammed, then go for it.

- Mon Apr 04, 2011 4:24 pm #248200 stock struts were engineered for stock ride height. when you slam a car on them it is almost guaranteed they will leak/blow which means your ride will bounce like a hoopty and not be firm.

- Mon Apr 04, 2011 5:06 pm #248209 I have some H&R sport springs on stock shocks. Came installed from P.O. The shocks are past gone, I'm sitting on the springs basically. The firm springs don't hop around like a lowrider, they are actually pretty stiff. The only thing that gets me is that if you hit uneven roads or holes etc. you will feel them.

- Tue May 03, 2011 8:48 am #253412 :( I take back what I said, should have listened. Car was on jack stands at the time of my last post. :(

Car is bouncy as all hell, but on smooth road (not to common in Wisconsin) it rides like a dream. The handling is insane! It's super tight, virtually 0 body roll, but when you get on normal roads... Forget about it, people sitting in the back seats have to wear helmets to keep them from getting knocked out. I am going to invest into some normal lowering springs... this was a bad idea.

I had the car dumped, the mud guards are 1 inch from the ground. After 2 weeks I raised it back to little under stock height and it didn't change a thing.

DO NOT BUY Ebay SPRINGS! :x
