    The ride will be far from garbage, but also far from you are used to stock. It will be a bit stiffer but you will forget all about the stiffness after you feel the difference in handling.

    are the bilstein monotube a stock replacement if so you will prolly blow them faster then the tokicos the reason i fells like they ride like crap is cause they are stiffer witch also makes them last longer with the lowering springs

    You may want to look into front and rear camber adjustment first and see if you like that. -2 camber front and rear. It is a great handling benefit with normal tire wear.

    There are several threads on it in this section.
