How do you make a 7th gen a better daily driver?
how are the teins. Im highly interested in swapping my tokicos with the koni yellows or tokico d-spec, i heard tein was good but never experienced it.
i regret so much paying 300 for my tokico blues (new). i shouldve at least got the d-spec for 200$ more =(

yea those free mods are fun, I took off my neuspeed race springs and im on just Tokico blues and stock springs now and to be honest fellas not much has changed other than ride height and my ride being softer, but I still handle pretty much as good as I did before, only a slight bit of Understeer is more present but it can be quickly reduced by lifting the throttle. I dont know It goes over bumps better, it takes me much better, but when I have to take corners it takes them like a champ. I commute a lot to school, to work and I cant go thru the streets of NY with a car so stiff my alignment goes to hell and I dont want a 1 inch drop. I want a stockish look anyway, so I said hell with it im happy, so for all those who dont want springs, just the tokico's are almost as good daily driver wise. The ride is much more comfortable ill tell you that much.

^^I've said it many times before, A car will handle better with Performance Dampers and Stock springs then it will with Performance springs on Stock Dampers....

Rep Power: 380 ^^ problem with the HX wheels... THey are WAY too narrow. Go for a nice 15X6.5 minimum... a 15X7 would be much better. I say 15's because there arnt a whole lot of good tires in 14's any more...
