Yea that^. Also are any of you having issues with the stock shocks blowing out? I was thinking HFP suspention with the sportline springs. Does anyone know if HFP will be strong enough to support the sportlines, or will I have to go full aftermarket?

sportlines give a about a 1.4 inch drop all around and the hfp springs give about an inch drop. hfp will be a tad bit stiffer than oem but will wear out over time, your best bet would be to wait for aftermarket support.

Speed bumps arent really an issue as long as you go slow as hell....no issues with the shocks blowing, but the springs havent been on long either...


Heres a crappy updated pic with the wheels:

buy wheels from online vendors, you'll generally get a better deal.
