it's going to be very stiff, and feel like you are sitting on concrete, even on small bumps, but that is paid for in the handling and the look. Nothing better than being able to chuck it into corners and come out the otherside (sometimes a bit sideways) and giggling like a deranged baboon.  :cool: :evil:

Get ride height adjustable coilovers then you can get the stance and clearance you want.
