surprisingly, i want it to be more stiffer. i really notice the difference in the corners though. seems more flat/planted, no more body roll. we still have to get the rear shocks in though. probably within the next 2 weeks.

I am riding on shitbrand springs with a 1.9 inch drop front and rear on stock wheels and tires. DF in the closet and I want to buy tie bar, strut bar, sway and shocks before I install them. I just want to do it right all together. Probably take me a couple or a few months to get it all together. Friday I am ordering my Rota JMAG wheels and hopefully enough left to swing for tires.

hahaha, Megan, Zenn, or some other eBay brand springs? do you know what brand of shocks, sway/strut/tie bar you're going for? i forget, what is the JMAG's copying? they're nice. what size?

Dunno but I like the JMAG looks good. Oh, lets just say shitbrand (relabled Tenzo). Just a temporary set up, I can say I gave them a try and honestly they aren't bad but I would compare it to using dollar store detergant over good ole' Tide. Price difference wasn't shit anyway ended up being within 15 dollars of the Tanabe.

Probably the TRD Shocks because I'm not patient and that's what there is. TRD sway for the same reason. Cusco lower tie and Tanabe upper strut bar in front. You know there really isn't many choices except in the spring dept.
