It drives like stock, just lower. I have been in excess of 120 mph in it and it feels just as planted as stock, on "SPORT" the combination of the springs and the shock dampening make for an awesome solid feeling car. I love it!

I have the same springs on my car and I would agree....there is very little perceptible difference in the level of ride quality compared to stock. The car does feel a bit more planted as well, and I'm fairly certain that's due to the combination of both the lowered ride height and the wider rubber (I'm now running 325s in the back).

No problems for me as well, going over speed bumps or up the ramp from my office parkade. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
