Granted, they weren't as aggressive as my H&R springs are...I just don't want to deal with the hassle of gettin my ride height dialed in and then getting the car corner balanced. Plus, I'd be tempted to go lower. I already scrape my exhaust on the 3 speed bumps in my neighborhood as is. Call me cheap, but I'm just going to stick with springs for now.
not cheap at all, if i wasn't so picky about my ride height i'd consider springs, but i'd rather get 1 install done, then have to replace dampers at some point etc. i'll keep an eye open for anyone selling stock dampers though. good luck

Appreciate it, Jeff! If I didn't have to go over 3 speed bumps everyday to get to my house...I'd definitely do coilovers. I do like all the pros of coilovers. I just hate the cons o speedbumps, haha.

yea, the funny part is, speed bumps don't really slow down the crazy soccer mom suv drivers, which are the ones always in a rush in local areas.
