Three guys that got the updated unwanted rear springs.. I think they are all as low as the rear could go..

As you can see vmaxx can definitely go low.
Don't expect them to ride as nicely as your koni's probably did.. You'll probably have to cut/remove the bumpstops depending on how low you go.
And I asked Stratmosphere about a group buy before but they said it won't happen because of the warranties.. Guess it wouldn't hurt to ask again if there is definite interest. I got mine from them brand new on sale for $450 so if the group buy is an option they'll probably be willing to give them out for a good price.

there's a guy on here SN manufan who has had them for a few years. i remember him saying that the rear springs were way too soft and bouncy. i guess vmaxx failed at making better rear springs lol. one warning is, his are seized so he can't change the height. it seized 6 months after he installed them even with using anti seize. i'm not trying to turn you guys away from buying them but just be aware of these potential problems down the road.

macpyro- i just put in H&R race springs and they are going to sit about .5" higher than you car is sitting now. i think i'm going to have about 25" GTF all around. rides a little bumpy but drives like a champ lol

So it looks like we have atleast 5 people interested in a group buy (including myself)

We definately need to make this happen
