well they are stiff for daily driving.. but im running 245/35 and 225/35 tyres..

i hate driving on old vancouver streets with uneven pavement and potholes.. really painful ride...although i love taking hard right and left turns with ease. and little to no body roll.... car doesnt handle like a boat anymore over bumps/ramps, such as the one on Old Marine heading toward Queensborough

i was even airborne for less than a second on one of the "ramps" on willingdon.. it was pretty cool and it didnt bottom-out or anything

my rear left coilover makes a wierd clunking noise as if something is loose from day one, have to get that checked out.. but other than that its perfect for the non-track user like me.. cause i was just looking for improved handling to get rid of the boat feeling and height adjustability.

oh and i got mine delivered to the door for $850 CAD including taxes and duty and shipping.
