I don't think you're ripping on me, its all good conversation and like you said, food for thought. Besides, I don't have many feelings left and I left my two chits in the van!
So far I really like the 165 springs. I got those instead of the 200's for that very reason, and that being because they would be too stiff for everyday use. These 165's are even a little stiff, but I like them like that. Not sloppy and bouncy. They just compress, then return and that's it. And paired with the bilstein's that mike likes to put in the rear, it just gives the car a much more updated feel!
