Word, even with my Koni's I could use something stiffer. I just like that super connected to the road feeling. But some of the roads around here are pretty brutal.

I love it, its nice and deep but a little on the quiet side, especially with the stock cat compared to some of these cats rolling around with midpipes etc. I also like the 3 inch tips, some of the 4 inchers look kinda cartoonish to me

Rival - Don't worry about it, they're monotube and HKS is one of the 3 major JP coilover producers (so many brands are out of same warehouses ie: megan + apex'i, HKS actually is one of the suppliers). The rears are solid, you won't blow the damper. It is way annoying though, especially if you want to go super low!

Jesse - awesome man, car is coming along nicely!
