Or you should have gotten a LWB with stock air suspension. With the drop, the ride is almost like stock.

Are we making you more confuse? But seriously, coil over is the best option aside fro OEM air.

If you wanna see how it feels riding on the freeway on coils i'd be happy to let you ride in my LS, It's not that bad really you'll feel some of the bumps here and there but nothing harsh.

I'm rolling on BC coils, the only problem i have with them are the rears, they don't drop as much as I want it to be. but the upside to this brand is that you can have custom spring ratings with no extra charge!!!

You're gonna *lose. Have you looked into getting some JP vip curtains for your windows? I think they add that executive classy touch. Hehehe

No Prob bro, I live in Vallejo actually but I do make trips out there to visit some of my homies out there, Maybe when there's a meet i'll let you jump in an let you see how these BC feel.

BC is the actual brand name short for something that I can't think of on the top of my head right now, but there's a good amount of people on the forums that are running them including me, So far no complaints besides the rears not dropping low enough. Which might be more of what you want so you don't get tempted to slam it to the ground!! lol

Check out some of the venders they have a pretty good prices on them an they ask you if you wanna go with a custom spring rate at no extra charge. Can't go wrong with that

FYI, Go with a slightly stiffer rate so you won't have to max out your shocks.

I’ve seen many conservative members change their taste as they hang with us over time.











So If you don’t watch out, one day you might end up like this:

LOL I know what you mean...
