O-k...I'l throw my $.02 in here, as I live and drive on the same sh*t roads in MI.

I feel that the BAT springs are a def improvement over the stock items. You lose the nose dive under braking and the side to side tossing is much improved. Cornering is flat, and the drop looks good both front and rear (tho I wish for another .5" in the back).

I have always felt that the struts have too much...or perhaps not well designed compression dampening and not enough rebound dampening (they rebound too quickly). For ~$100 per I expected more...

I am trying to decide right between stock SVT springs or BAT sports paired with the new Bilstiens. After reading Demon's review on how well the B's manage the higher valving rates...I'm leaning towards the BAT springs (I have both SVT and BAT springs at home).

But after visiting Detroit last weekend...and scraping my front spoiler everytime I went in/out a parking garage or lot...the stock ride height is looking mighty good...
