That drop looks nice though. I will now usually either buy full COs or get a nice spring/shock combo.
RSR Super Downs with about as much drop as you will get on lowering springs. 100K and all four stock shocks still functioning as good as new. I have blown out coilovers in a third of that on previous cars. Unless I decide I want to be able to adjust for some reason I will never do COs again.
