i went on a trip to see my girlfriend who goes to school at chapel hill this weekend and i really have to vent about my coilovers. THEY SUCK!!!! yea, they make the car look really good and all, but riding on the interstate sucks with stock shocks. i hit bridges where it has a lip and my speaker box flew up in the air, ripped the power wire out, and blew my fuse under the hood for my amp. it was not a fun ride listening to treble for 2 hours. oh well, guess its something i gotta live with until i get new shocks. thanks for lettin me get that outta my system. anyone else need to vent then nows the time.

what kind and how far did you drop your car? i have Ground Control coilovers and i dropped my car 2.5". the ride was bareable, but some bumps did not go over well. the ride was rougher than stock yes, but by no means was it horrible. i did raise my car up though, to about 1.75" lower than stock. now the ride is much much better, no more bottoming out, and those old bumps are much much more smooth. oh yeah, i'm on stock shocks too. i know those cheap ebay coilovers are crap, i drove bryan's car (cragspider) and they were like ridin on a trampoline.. frown.gif
