I had them.. a loooong time ago.. they were bouncy as hell. After a while they sagged even lower. I wouldn't recommend them personally. Too low for my tastes.

I'm currently running Tein SS and would never go back. the ride is slightly rough but smooth. Not to mention height and shock adjustable

if it is that, low, regardless of wjat springs or coilovers, 98% of the time its gonna ride like ****. VERY bumpy without much travel till you hittin the bumpstops. Shocks dont like to last extra long either when a car is lowered that much.

You could never lower a car that much where i live or you would destroy it in a 1000 miles. Hills, railroad tracks, potholes, raccoons, hell i dont know of many gas stations you could go to with all the filler caps sticking up 5 inches, its a maze for me know on Eibach pro-kit which is hardly lower

The only way you may get any sort of decent ride out of these and life out of your shocks is extended top hats. Although I wouldn't recommend going that low if you daily drive your car.
