idiots are those that think their cars can do anything they want, like be a 4x4.

trucks deserve lifts and all terrain tires

cars deserve tuning and handling

Wrong. Get buddy there to let you blast that soob up diamondhead or squamish valley a few times and you'll see.

(Of course the engine and driveline need some upgrades as well to make it worthwhile)

That's really awesome man.
I may follow your lead with my STi. The roads around here are far too loose to have KW V3 and low pro tires.

That's a lot more common with a poorly planned setup. Spring bind is a bad thing, and at least in the Subaru world, spring companies have made changes. For example, the Racecomp yellow springs were a great option for us AWD guys, but they found that the coils would bind causing a severe increase in spring rate. The second generation came out and took care of the bind issue with proper spring spacing and rates more in tune with what the springs were meant for.

But I've seen my share of busted springs. The best one was while working on my buddie's CRV recently. He has a wierd noise while turning, and we found that he broke off the first coil of his OEM spring.

We had to fix that.

Werd!
With better tires and a proper alignment, you can increase the rear stiffness for some tail out fun. It's more fun on the autoX course than highway 1 though.

Nice!
I'd take a set of those over any Megan racing crap anyday. KW makes good parts, and even their cost effective models are pretty sweet.

Oh I agree hypa they shouldn't bind, but most drop springs do just to poor design, you have to take that drop out somewhere.

I wish GOOD coilovers where cheaper for my cobalt but since they are 2g's I went the easy route with springs and shocks.
