I actually like them a lot I always said I would never buy springs cause I would rather go with coilovers.. It is a pretty nice drop the ride quality didnt go out the window like I thought it would I went to the canyons today and I could comfortably go an average of 5-10 mph than I could before
and yeah I have to bomb every picture I see getting taken even my own hahaha

That single tailpipe is wicked. Very mysterious, stealthy, and makes one think, "what's powering this thing?" A+
