Ugh.....To drop or not to drop
I'm in the market for new struts/springs, mine are worn out bad. I don't know if I want to drop, I don't have a lot of dips around or anything, but my rear tires rub like hell.
What are the benefits of a drop? I still have not decided if I want to go straight drag or autocross yet with my suspension. Drag is a ton cheaper, but handling everyday is priceless I don't know...
Someone steer me, as I am a moron

Works wonders and as long as you are not stupid, you dont have to worry about dips and curbs :-)
