Patreezy, so they fit fine, seem to have a REALLY nice drop on them, how was the comfort and performance?

What do you have on now?

yea I had no problems with fitment..
It was my first install done by myself, took me 2 hours even WITH that lift, I was all alone with a manual spring compressor, try remove a set of four springs on your own for the first time..
No one there to tell you to not put your face over the top of the strut when you compress the spring ..just in case..

I like the drop, the ride handling improved quite a bit. I only drove the car on stock springs for about a month here and there, so I can't really say a comparison of comfort with the HKS vs. stock. I am so used to lowered tibs now..
But I had no quails making NUMEROUS 500+ to 1,000mile road trips on them..

I now have H$R,

mind I ask where do you plan on getting your springs REDZMAN?
