Exar-kun, You live in Ga? Where at?

Hmmm, I suppose now that shocks don't make the ride difference, but springs do.

Well I got the tein sprigns, seems like a good choice, not because I want that droped look (which would kill me over speed bumps with a N1) but because they have the highest spring rates, which was what i was looking for so that I won't roll to bad auto the auto X I Number 1 kone killa
