I must APOLOGIZE.. Ever since installing these H&R springs (1.2" kit, lowered much more though), I've bashed them left and right. Today, got off my ass and adjusted the rear links that were included in the kit. I ended up adjusting them a tad longer, in essence increasing the height of the rear of the car.

SO MUCH BETTER!. Granted, its not as low as it was.. and the rear is a bit higher now then the front (which bothers me) BUT its lower than stock, drives a hell of a lot smoother and is a good temporary fix while I ponder the KW coil overs. I may adjust them again in the next few days to find the perfect balance.

So.. to those that hate aftermarket springs.. make sure you trial and error the rear links. Adjust them, drive it around and find the perfect balance of smoothness and aesthetic. I swear, I can't believe how much smoother it drives. Like a new car.

Sorry for venting in the original posters thread.. didn't want to create a new thread since he hates them as well.
