Besides the fact that they perform better than both stock and aftermarket lowering springs and are completely adjustable, nothing I guess.

even if they are adjustable most people will set them to the desired height and always leave them there
there are better for racing so that you can adjust them according to the kind of track you're on

and if you drive the car in the winter or on dirt roads or something, the adjusters will get seized
plus to be able to adjust them you will need to take the wheels off all the time

but being able to dial in a perfect ride height is worth it for the similar price of just springs and "standard" performance shocks.. even if you do not touch them again.

Yeah, lol. I'd slam it in the summer and keep it lowered about 2" or something in the winter.

Hey Rabbit, where did you order your rims from? I've been looking for this identicle style, but with a black face not gold...I've had no problem finding that in a 15x7, but Rota only seems to offer them in a +40 offset, and Drag only offers offers them in a +40, 0 and +10. I would like to get +30's for the front and +20's for the rear or +15's. I don't want to have to pull fenders. I don't mind using spacers really, at least if I'm close to the right offset I won't need to change studs or anything to get them just right. I'm assuming I'd need a 5mm in the front and possibly a 5mm in the rear? Thanks bud, Mike.

I got them from discounttiredirect.com, the rears are et10 the front are et40 ( but et35 after the 5 mm spAcer to fit) the rears stick out over an inch past the wheel well! So plan on pulling

Hmmm, yeah I miscalculated. I was going the wrong way with my numbers. So, I could do +40's in the front w/5mm spacer...wonder what I should do in the rear? I guess I'll just have to use a 20mm spacer in the rear, that should cut it down to a +20...which should tuck right?
