TEIN? good choice... well while you have everything out it would be a really good idea to change the struts. ofcourse you can use your old ones, but youll keep the tires on the ground a lot more with some good struts, those springs are pretty stiff. you wont want to hit any uneven pavement at 110. even if you got the kyb's that would be so much better than what you have now. tokico or koni would be even better, its just a couple hundred more bucks. it will keep that bouncyness away for sure though.

yea i was talking about the wheel hop though. when you go over uneven pavement, your tire is going to come off the ground making you loose control a little. a good shock will help eliminate it. if your just cruising around it shouldnt be a big deal though. not even speed bumps, i mean like the over pass on the freeway.

Fun begins at 110...as well as my adrenaline (on an empty road ;)) Anyways lowering the car 2" on stock shocks will probably blow them eventually, but they will work if mounted.

No one knows, maybe soon, maybe never. You'll hear different stories of peoples demise and fortune.
