Not yet, it was so freakin hot when I was doing the Bpipe. I was sweating balls so I didn't take it off yet. Really, I don't like the response i get from it but thats just me.

Hey Arick i was wondering how your springs were working out. I seem to remember that u were stoked about them and got em right before the meet. Now that you've had them on for awhile what do you think. Because i just bought some 16's and i'd like to lower the car. I can get the skunks or the tanabe's for a good price. I'm actually a retailer for them now. I just don't know which to go with. I've ridden on the gfs from tanabe, just wondering how u feel about yours now

the springs are still riding nice, i dont really think the quality of the ride has changed since the day i put them on. super stiff. if you like a stiff ride than they are for you. i did find out that they make riding in the back seat one hell of a ride. the other day i got to ride in the back seat of my car and my god was it bumpy. im still extremly happy with my purchase and i would suggest these springs to any one.

the thing that i like the most about these is that they are so darn stiff that when the car is full you can barely notice any change in the height. the same day i got to ride in the back of my car i hit that really fun road i took you all on with 4 guys my size plus a full cooler in the back. im pretty sure i only rubbed once and that was on the front driver side when i messed up on a tight turn.

one of the reasons i'm more interested in the skunk2s is because i have a subwoofer setup usually in the car. And that can add anywhere from 50-175lbs. So the stiffer springs would be better. Don't know if u noticed but my car sat lower in the back almost looked like it had lowering spings in the back lol.

i didnt notice but i do know from first hand experience that a sub set up can get pretty hefty. i think in that case the skunk2's would be perfect for you because the rear springs a really stiff. the only thing you might want to consider is really mounting your stuff down to the car. with those rear springs being as stiff as they are every little bump and crack you go over is felt in the rear.

i weigh 220 lbs. and when my car hit a dip in the road i was tossed up and hit my head on the ceiling.

Got dang it, I knew I should have gone out there yesterday. Oh well, it is pretty much dullsvill out that here. No twisty roads, elevation changes, heck not even an arcade. Just a big pile of nothing. But that park however is pretty cool and the scenary in general is awesome.
