    Because it was just recent. And I Remeber the day it happened I was getting ready for school and my mom started yelling and screaming and told me to come watch the tv and I saw the other plane hit the tower on live tv. It was a sad sad event same with the shooting nothing too exciting or that drastic happens up here in Canada just cold winters and bad roads babah

I have my stiffer springs on the way I will post an update about how it changes them. But ya coils as is from zzp garbage don't recommend them unless the stiffer springs help a lot the car is almost not driveable
    What spring rate did you go with? I had 400# up front and 350# in the back and I felt like i still needed stiffer springs

    the funny part is that you guys have 400/350 springs and that's the rate i'm about to put on my little baby car.

    you need way stiffer, something like 500/400 or more.

    Your cps will be in the mid twos. Expect no traction on bumpy roads.

    riding on the bump stops is a very hard ride, harsh even.

    if you're bottoming out the strut and going metal to metal, you'd break things very quickly.
