haha Will, glad i can make you laugh for once rather than arguing.

There is no reason the buy the pro-c's if the car will never see the track. They are a lot stiffer than the BC ( spring rates), and therefore not as comfortable for driving on the streets. They have the camber plates but it isn't really necessary for street use.

But each person has their own opinion, and will get what they want.

Yea no hard feelings idk i couldn't pass up getting them i am sure i will get use to them and they will perform the way it seems they are capable of

Have they performed for you on the street to your desire or are they overkill for the street ?
