It's not like I'm hammering on my car everyday and I'm trying to race it. I don't put it under extreme conditions. I've had them for about 6 months now and no problems.

I guess I just don't cheap out with anything, running over 1k in gauges in my car.

Me either. I would never cheap out on something like suspension. Springs aren't supposed to move when you jack your car up. lol.

I haven't had any problems though. Plus you have to realize not everyone has a lot of money. I think after taxes I get 17,000 a year. I'm 17 this is all I can do and I'm quite proud of it. Whether you "cheap out" or not is none of my business but I have my new wheels on. And I also have my drop how I want it so I'm happy. If I ever upgrade suspension it will be for coilovers.

Well there's always saving for good stuff. I didn't spend a lot either on springs. They $180. Now I'm saving for coilovers.

I honestly don't really care because I can always get new one for 90 or whatever.

Pro kit sucks. You won't even notice a drop hardly. They basically just level the rear.

Everything as in eBay springs and the pro kit? That's just an opinion.

Not against the pro way better than the crap of the sportlines but not something I'd buy, mush rather save up for YYZ, or go LNF FE5 for cheap (and way better than ebay). Never really heard much bad about SSC.

I will post pics hopefully this weekend to give others an idea of the look. I will be about an inch higher but it will be a good happy medium.
