haha...are you really asking this?

"Ravespeed lowering springs are precision engineered to be the ultimate in suspension performance. They provide terrific handling, response, control and balance."



for $75 they must be ultimate..

do you know how many people got their axle locked up because of the obx diff?

the v1 are known for killing tranny, there's people buy it and disassemble them to clean out the shaving before they put it on. not really sure I would call that "good"

you got what you paid for

I did a search on compleated items and found someone who purchased a set. Sent him a message, maybe he will respond.

suspension is not something to screw around with.

you may gain the drop with these springs, but i bet you'll gain other problems as well.

if you dont want coils, just save a little longer and get a known and tested brand.

I got a response back from the buyer and his answer is that they have Tein part numbers on them and look like Tein Spring. He is an S2KI member but I will leave it to him to post his findings if he wants.

I hope Konis are at least in your budget, b/c don't expect the stock shocks to last long after lowering.
