Any feedback on how they feel? These are set spring rates right? No customization?

Too tucked with just an inch drop?

set sprint rates. drives great, even more smooth than the stock Eibach/Bilstein setup. i got the preset "spirited driving" settings for those who know West End and Darin.

i would love to have a new set of wheels, but that also means a new set of tires. i think i'll wear out the current Yokohamas before looking at the new set of rims. how much can i get for my MR BBS wheels?
