    just take them off?

    JOM is cheap.
    people like GC coils and billy sports though.

      BC's / Megans.

      I use to be reaaaaaally skeptical with these things, but after doing/helping with an install on a friend's car and fiddling around with them holy cow they are awesome.
      And I'm a suspension guru.

          What size tires did you go with? You have a square 9.5 set, right?

            i do have a square 9.5 set. i am pretty sure i need 8.5 for the front. also i have 205/45/16 on the rear. i think i will try to run thicker tires. i'll see when i get that suspension

              Bilstein sports are only for H&R race or sport springs and other of that nature. They should NEVER be paired with coilovers. They have zero damping for that low. Koni from GC are valved to your rates. Not saying Bilstein sports cannot be done, I did it for a summer before finding out I was misinformed.

              You can pull these off with sports and H&R race very well with a drop hat.

                Ah, I've seen a few people running them so I wasn't sure, and then I thought I remembered seeing them sold with the GC on their site, but I only noticed the yellow strut itself and automatically thought about billies.

                  well, i should have gotten drop hats. i have bilstens and h&R's but for some reason its not stiff enough. idk, maybe old? I just got my jom coilovers and just wanted to try what a different suspension feels like. worst case scenario i just sell them.
