Huh? I went to straight to coils lol. What I meant was that I got wheels before dropping my car

how are you finding the ride quality with the drop now? I guess you couldn't compare it to coil overs, but how do you like it compared to stock?

Its a tad stiffer, but not by much coming off the sports susp. And I have a bit of a lead foot so I wasn't trying to go too low, just close the wheel gap. The 1200 i save on coils will go into my next little surprise

IJDM toy, install was insanely easy. Although the decoders are somewhat large, I just opened the box (inside is just a pc board, capacitor, and transformer loop) slip some 1/2 in. shrink wrap over it and it was slim enough to squeeze into the dust/ moisture cover that holds the bulbs. Best sub 50$ mod IMO. Completely updates the look of the car.
