Typical issue with lowering springs and oem shock upgrades.

KW V2's are rated better for ride quality and handling for a street car which this is. No wild dreams of it seeing the track really, so it makes sense to spend the coin.

Power-wise, ive noticed a difference with the good catalytic converters on the car. Feels more sluggish off the line through the midrange. Could be the summer heat and humidity, but it underwhelms me at times where it never used to before the replacements went in.
