I also wonder if you had to go on the highway and hit a bump... would the tires get all ground up in the quarter panels...

but the way they are designed you keep all spring and strut travel and only the car goes lower.. it's a pretty damn genious design. one thing i will say is that these ride better than any strut/spring/coilover setup i've had and they ride the same at 130mph as they do at 30mph, I can tell you that from experience and day to day driving.
These bad boys are 16 way adjustable.. so they can ride like a coffin on wheels if you wish, or they can ride smooth.
Just fyi, this isn't my cruising car, this is my daily driver.. and it does get driven, everyday.
And sprint, I'll put you down for 20 kits, would you like fries with that?

Our flagship coilover setup. The FLT-A2 features a light weight, 15 way adjustable monotube damper that ensures high strength and fade free performance. The ride height is adjustable separate from the spring perch giving you maximum suspension travel at any setting. This also allows for proper corner weighting of the vehicle without effecting spring preload settings. Linear springs give laser precision steering response. All models include upper pillow ball mounts. MacPherson strut designs utilize front camber plates and feature high tensile steel brackets. Multilink suspension designs feature a CNC machined aluminum lower brackets

I'd say it's 50/50, with most of the hate being towards the "dual fart can exhaust".

Well what i meant was that you gave me more hope in hooking up the max, BUT you already dominate the 4 door nissan class . Plus I really want to keep modding but I don't have great hook ups, and good friends(to help with the mods) like u.I'll TRY to drop by the show to see you(if u are around your car) and your car.

I'm definitely gonna try to make it out to that show after I get off work that day. Alot has changed on your car since I last saw it at HIN last year. I want to see it in person, because I have a feeling as beautiful as it looks, the pictures still don't do it justice. Good luck at the show too.
