I agree. If you want a mild drop, springs will do. Ride is stiffer but it looks a LOT better.

i say tein s tech is going to wear out the stock shocks must faster. f sport will not wear out the stock shocks as fast. I have a friend with stock shocks and f sport springs and it survived for 4 years.

Looking better and performing better if not to low is not worth the additional hassle of having to angle entering and exiting everything LOL, scraping, going over speed bumps extraordinarily slow....

To me.... Nope thats why im "4x4"
