soft is better than hard.

Front struts are pretty new, the rear ones could be replaced and will be.

Off topic but my daily driver setup hit a 140.0 tonight. First time I ever entered a comp. kinda happy about that score with this setup going on.

I plan to, I want to get the struts and shocks replaced before new rims though. Tint will come soon. What percent tint would you guys reccomend?

5% all around 35% on teh windshield

its going to be bouncy and the shocks are going to blow out you dumbass... it has nothing to do with the ride quality

no stiff springs have a greater spring rebound, so they take the bump and thats it, with a soft spring you take the bump, the spirngs absorbs it in then releases, aborbs again until levels back out....you know what im sayin

Im holding off till wednesday. Going out and buying all new struts all around for the car.

Since replacing the stock springs for a 2inch drop, would purchasing the stock struts for my car be fine, or would I need to look into a different style strut since springs may be differently?
