          What if you were runnin' 205/50/16? Do you think the ride on the street would get too rough? I have been trying to decide between IE3 and JS and haven't found much other than a lot of stage 3 coupled with koni vs. bilstein threads.

            Dude, 205-50-16 were rough with my current suspension and 195/65-14s are comfy. 205-50-16 and J-stocks would be teeth-chattering I would imagine.

            Stage 3's are a lot more streetable IMO than J-stocks. I mean, kids are rocking them a lot. Konis have a little better ride.

            Your ride with 205-50-16 has about as much sidewall as I do on these 205-50-15s. You could live with it with IE3, dunno about J-stockers.

              Funny thing is, after crusing around in my dad's M3 with H&R Race springs abd Koni SA's...I really want linear springs. Screw this progressive shit.

              Am I just outta wack?

                Why, did you not like the springs on your dad's car?

                  No, i loved the ride. I'm pretty sure H&R Race springs are linear, aren't they? Or, are they progressive as well?

                      God dammit. Well, that's gay. lol Nevermind then. His Koni's must just be stiffer.

                        I dont think u want js for much street work ......you wont find too many threads on js.......try s14.net. .....I did......

                        most said every pothole is a huge obstacle.....and they r firm! Not a good choice imo for mainly street posing.....and even js are prog!
                        I love sitting down and just driving!

                          I drive on Jstock every day in Indianapolis. They are indeed stiff... but they are progressive. You feel every bump/crack in the road but its surprisingly livable. I had H&R Sports before, never had IE3's or anything but I bet you could live with J-stocks on the street unless you live in San Francisco or some place with potholes every 20 feet.
