Somehow most common contra-question for "which coilovers" i've seen - "what tires".


I have taken speed “humps” at 30mph on these shocks with stock wheels and I’ve never hit the bump stops once, although I’m running the Raceseng 2 inchers on the rear.
I think one must be more open-minded to soft spring rates.
