Default 18" wheels + Neuspeed Race springs and stock shocks...rough ride?
would the ride be rougher than Coil-Overs and 19" wheels (which i've had before, so I know what it's like)....

Just curious how rough a ghetto drop on stock shocks would really be...

I'd bet those springs would quickly destroy the stockers. How ya been?

Default was just curious... because I see alot of Vortex kiddies cutting springs, etc...
and was wondering how bad the ride really is. I had a friend in highschool with an Accord with cut springs. It was awesomely bouncy. Like 4 bounces to settle on the freeway. haha

Default haha.. yeah, I know... another reason I asked was because...
I run H&R springs and stock shocks on my Vanagon... and the ride/handling is really nice... was just curious how it'd be on the TT...

Default 1.9L... and a whopping 55hp baby! I get like 10MPG?
but I am running 16" Mercedes rims on smaller tires, so the speedo is off... and my odometer is dead too... so actually I really have no idea and I don't know what i'm talking about in terms of MPG... haha

too bad she has a coolant leak somewhere so I haven't had time to look into it and haven't driven her for like 6 months... i'll get her ready for summer tho =o)

Yeah, when I'm not working or teaching! It's more of a hobby with perks. ;-)
