Rayn, let me know what you think of the BAT kit on the streets of Brooklyn once you finally get it installed.

Also, let me know what it cost to get it installed in NYC and where. Thanks



The ride WILL be firmer than stock because of the springs mostly. If you have heavily potholed streets, you'll feel them a bit more than you would in a soft GL spring setup but you won't rattle your bones or anything like that. The SE springs are fairly firm to begin with, so the difference in ride will be less obvious & you'll get used to it easily.

The big benefit will be the handling. Huge benefit. Almost no nose dive on braking, great road holding around corners, and a very balanced, sophisticated feel in maneuvers.

Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
