carbon fiber will break with one good bump, trust me. i did it. ive had to repair my lip twice.

carbon fibre will break like a dinner plate!!! - thats why they don't make specs out of it anymore!!!

use fibre glass!! it flexs, unless you have a solidly square lip...

wouldn't it be easy enuff to just remove the lip in winter??

also other thing, why can't you drive diagonally across speed humps?? it works wonders for me!! - try driving a car that has a ride height of 2 inches... it don't happen, it has to go diagonal...

Driving diagonally acroos speed humps works fine for me 85%, but sometimes you really can't do it... for me, I'm through with the drop and the lip, the TEIN S-TECH is crying for a new shock if I don't loose the spring soon, and my lip is as busted up as it can get, it's bad to a point I'm planning to get another one altogether cuz the damage is no longer fixable. I'm thinking the urthene which might be more durable than fiberglass or CF. I'm definitely putting back my stock springs this time.

see? these are the horror stories that im envisoning myself getting into if i lower with the lip


so out of all those springs... the H&Rs drop the least... 1.3" F&R.... i think if i m gonna drop i'll go with the H&Rs...

but after doing some research on the H&Rs ehy seem like really STIFF springs.... ppl said your really feel the road after.......

so this is such a dilema..... i want the drop of the H&Rs but i want something close to stock ride comfort....

 

[mopiko]

TEIN will give you the original ride comfort you are looking for, however I'm noticed the back is bumpier than the front, maybe I got a bad spring but i feel like the spring is working the shock a little bit too much.

But lowering a vehicle, no matter what kind of springs or shocks you got, will change the bounce characteristic of the suspension so you will feel the road more than stock, that's expected because of the shortened length of spring shock travel, some springs has a strong load and spring rate than the others, some manufactures publish these numbers, TEIN S-TECH springs have 3.3 and 2.6 front and back respecitively I think, but don't expect a soft extra comfy ride with lowering springs.
