Has anyone done it on a 6r? How much worse in the ride quality and is it risky?

Erm I'm not the most knowledgable but I think it's the springs the car sits on when it's jacked up so when your cars on the floor they're fully compressed, removing them gives you like an extra 30mm drop but worsens ride quality

Its bouncy and uncomfortable. but thats how i like it.
If you can deal with a bouncy castle and you're fine with reminding your girlfriend to hold her boobs on certain roads like i do then youll be dandy. I could do with going lower but airs my only other option.
hahahahahaha :mrgreen:

mine are coming out tomorro and my lass hates my car as it is never mine getting the collars an helpers off, she has to hold her boobs too it so funny :mrgreen:
