    Charles: on 215/40s w/ 17", do you feel the heavy bumps especially @ 40 mph? In your opinion, can it handle small dips or bumps @ 40 mph?

    GTImortFan: on 55 series w/ a 3" drop, how noticable are the bumps?

    Do you guys get any noises coming from them?

    I feel pretty much every bump. But i have hit so many pot holes since i had them on, and they are still holding up fine. They can take some abuse. I have some noise coming from the driver front side when making 3 point turns, but i think my tie-rod is bad since i ripped the boot during installation.

    quite honestly.. the thing rides like stock for me.. even when i was dumped.. i had SHG Easy E drive my car and he was like" wow.. these are really 250?" .. the best way i can describe them is that they feel like stock suspension no matter the height.. and the only noise i had was break in noise..

    i went with my friend to San Bernardino in his CD5 on Tein Flex coils last nite (i drive to San Bernardino daily for school) and the Racelands felt the same as the Teins.

    I wonder if these can handle pothole-ridden Toronto roads and the occasional track day (1-2x/year). I just want to lower it 1". The car is otherwise stock.

    Anyone have spring rates handy?
