Then it gets worse when u crack your aftermarket lip the day u rush to work pulling out of your driveway. U will get pulled over for swerving when u avoid potholes. People will honk at you or even worse u will get rear ended when u try to make that left at an intersection on a yellow light, and that person behind you wants to make the light also and doesnt see you slow down for that dip at the intersection. Then when you look at your cracked lip, scratched skirts, scraped exhaust, huge dent on your trunk that u cant see well at night cause u got home late from all the sobriety tests, u will then say time to raise it a little bit and feel stupid when u realize its not to much lower then it would be with springs! Or you can slam it on coils with some crazy camber and have your back wheels look like they needed alignment from factory and thats what 15 years of not getting it aligned did to it, if ur into that kind of thing. Lol but u will still have all the problems above. Love the slammed/lowered look but it just seems like to much to worry about.

I say springs!
this is funnny

I believe Waijai (Will from Futura) is trying to sell his. Not sure if its the same one or not, but its white/saddle.
