You guys that are 23 - 24 in, how is your ride? I'm on BC Coils at 24.5" all around and ride is really bad. I have to stiffen the dampers (maxed out) all around or else I get good vibrations in the floor and pedal at speeds 20+ mph. With the dampers all the way stiff, no more vibrations but the ride is garbage.

I'm on BC's dropped on stock 17's about 23 inches off the ground with no finger gap all around, ride is pretty smooth I actually like it better than stock. Only problem is the vibrations at a stop sign or stop light but its really not that noticable or maybe I just got used to it pretty common though for the AWD


Quick Reply: Lowest AWD>?
