How do they ride compared to your stock stuff? What shocks are you using with them?

Get some struts/shocks asap, you don't want the stock ones to give out.

this is just like a rule of thumb, you could replace struts and keep stock springs if their in good shape, but not vice versa, your shocks are the ones that get worn in quicker than springs so putting lower springs you MIGHT (keyword might) finish wearing out whats left of your shocks so..... do change those shocks man, if you can ASAP

god bless

Very nice. Looks like the car is coming along nicely. Get some Illumina struts.

OT:
I actually saw you yesterday on the UT strip. I didn't have my car though I was in my buddy's metallic blue TA.

I saw metaorbit as well. I only see other guys out when I don't have my car lol.

S-techs suck because...? I agree, putting S-techs on the stock struts isn't too wise.

not a huge fan of the wheels, but drop looks great.

im VERY surprised you had no problems for 2 years on stock struts and intrax.

they suck because the rates are too soft for the amoutn of drop....not enough stiffness to compensate.....

Let's see...first post was a thread jack, second post was an insult. I don't think this will end well.

What springs give a 3" drop anyway?
