I heard you didn't sell them to Omar

Dude, what we need to do is roll the fenders, get Ksports (you can feel them after I get them installed), and you need wheel spacers.

I doubt the comfort will be like stock...it will be much more stiffer but it's well worth it

i've had them for over a year now and it's been the best investment in my car....The only thing i recommend is not to drop it all the way...Expect a loose steering column and some clanking...Besides that, it's a great ride and i found that an eight setting in the front and 10 in the back is perfect...

No...i didn't think it was worth the 300 bucks but im sure its a nice feature...if your constantly changing ride softness or hardness i would recommend but it's fairly easy to change manually...a few click and your done...

Also...When i had the car dropped all that way it was with my stock 17's..you can slam the car if you have at least 18's

My buddy has them on his '01 Acura CL Type S (check members rides) and the ride is much more well behaved than what you may think. He had 19s on last summer, and it wasn't too harsh, with 17s or 18s, I think they would be a good option for a suspension upgrade.
