    Thanks Sean. Thats perfect for me then. I've had cars scrapping speed bumps through the years. I've come to that point where I'm a little more conservative now. lol.

    If u put the Tein at their lowest, u can scrap over speed bumps.......but no matter where u see the ride height, Its still comfortable

    Good to know! I guess my version of low is diff from others. I'm used to having tires tucking. So the TEIN should be a good choice. Thanks for the input. Comfortable is the factor I'm looking for.

    Just did springs myself today. This link was very helpful. Rear was easy. Front was a pain just to disassemble everything but simple as well. Nice to have air tools
