Of course. That was many years ago when I was much more of a newbie. If I had known much I would not have bought a set of "high-end" JDM coilovers. The nice thing about good shocks is you can make the fine tuned adjustments with them you can't with the cheaper stuff. The "high-end" JDM stuff turned out to not work well on our streets or even bumpy autocross lots, the real adjustment range wasn't very good, and the support when one blew was terrible.
