What do you have under that? ^

I've been thinking about going with the Vmaxx kit for just that reason, I don't want a terribly rough ride.

^ I think he's got H&R's.

V-Maxx would be good if you don't plan on slamming the car. They are soft tho (which is a plus for me since I hate rough rides).

Don't wanna slam, just get it out of the upper atmosphere lol. I also think H&R, Koni, Bilstein, etc. are a little bit overkill for my application. I'm not gonna track the car on weekends or anything, I just don't wanna have to jump to get into it anymore.

OP, how do you like the ride compared to the Koni's? Has it affected your driving style at all?

Both set ups had its ups and downs, i loved the koni's but it was way rough. On the track they where awesome but on the road it look sweet with the ride height but every pothole seem to destroy the cars soul...lol The vmaxx are way soft and i like that because it can take a hit on the road but you still know your driving a stiff coilover. the cornering obvisly isnt as good but is still way better then the sport. For the price the vmaxx kit is a great buy i think.

Anyone got any ideas pertaining to that question I had?
Could the VMaxx be improved with an aftermarket shock abosorber?

Good thread , I didn't know that the Vmaxx was softer. Which in my app. I would like too... Driving in a 2.8 I obviously am not going track my car and these would be perfect for a mildly tuned car IMO. Macpyroz, I heard aledelic say that for a while Vmaxx was giving the wrong springs in the back... Did they get your order correct?

BTW Lazer Viking your car is hott.
