I really feel peoples opinions about coil overs stem from where they live, some places have such great roads and streets that the stiffness does not affect them in their daily driving routine. Even my super stiff teins feel amazing when i hit nice smooth twisties, but thats ultra rare because i live...

That aside, if you place the bung too low oil can start to backup and not drain properly, and then compi...

damnit man, why is nyc so gay towards automotive enthusiasts???

1. No tracks nearby.
2. Super high insurance.
3. FUC*ED up roads.
4. TRAFFIC
5. No courteous drivers.
