actually i didnt think they had a bad ride. I was very satisfied with the quality to price ratio. They road solid for me on roads around home, but yes when I hit a bump it would jossle you a little. Had to lift it up though because of the roads I was starting to travel on. Good luck man, it looks very nice now be extra careful on those speed bumps.. just because you get the front over doesnt mean that you wont bottom out underneath.. trust me I have done it. take acccount for height of those bumps and the clearence under the car.

The "decreased comfort" of a lowered car causing a bump to turn into a jolt has never bothered me... Not. one. bit. I guess that's because I'm a mechanic and used to working on POS cars, lol.

From what my microscope can show me, it looks pretty good :p I also dont mind the feel of a lowered car, you just have to be more careful and take your time going over speedbumps or for me mainly, going onto roads that are inclined or coming out of driveways. You'll get used to it though. Its no worse than having to be careful when you have nice rims and have to avoid curbs and potholes.

Looks good. Thank god another DSM 4x4 is no more.

But, if the dropzones are working for you, why spend the money on Teins emoji
