if you want to run super duper slammed while static the only real way is to run crazy high spring rates like 22/16 or 24/18. it is possible to maintain a reasonably not bone-crunching ride, but only on the smoothest of pavements.

but you're right, they are too soft. maxed the stiffness on the EZ's and they're still too soft.

*****ty. the more you drop the perches, the softer the ride will be and i've sacrificed that just to be low. i wish the ride was stiffer, it's too soft even maxed out!

i suggest you guys do this if you are not that low or you're on some stiff springs because now the next thing to smash on the ground is your oil pan and cat. Without having the UCA hole cut, it prevents your car from bottoming out off the ground when you drive on shietty roads.
