dre Resident idiot. Donating Members 2,068 Member For: 14y 2m 22d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 08/12/11 11:23 PM Share Posted 08/12/11 11:23 PM you old fart Dre, lol. I'm not big on slammed FG's but I'm an old fart also. When you say better do you mean ride quality?Yeah, heaps better. I can have them up a little harder so now the car feels a bit sharper but at the same time it absorbs the big bumps without trying to jump into another lane and it's a bit quieter too- no bangs or thuds over bumps.I couldn't believe that raising the car 2cm or so would make such a difference. Still look low to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
