Yeah, his car is awesome but my only gripe about it is that the wheel fitment isn't aggressive enough. So hopefuly within the near future, some new wheels should be coming into the picture

Well since he has the car really low, he's put them at the stiffest setting to keep rebound at a minimal. When you have a car that low, you don't really want it bouncing around and scraping everything. As far as the ride quality is concerned, it is very stiff but when he first put them in (default setting/no adjustment) they actually rode really nice.

just a few things you might want to think about...

UAS setup - $2,300 retail
JIC setup - $2,098 retail
$4,398 + $1,000 average install

vs

air runner - $4,699 retail
$4,699 + $600-$800 average install

your in the same ballpark as far as price. both systems have thier pros and cons.
