    I can't afford lowering the car even 1 cm, very sad!

    So far my only complaint is the chattering/rumbling I get from the coils contacting each other. The radio can drown it out, but it sometimes sounds like there's a loose bolt somewhere.

    It's firm, but not TOO firm. Still comfortable over moderate road imperfections, but potholes are extremely jarring. Cornering is vastly improved with minimal body roll. This set strikes a good balance between street manners and sporty handling.

    UPDATE: Turns out the rattling/rumbling I heard was from the damaged front struts. As soon as the new ones went in, its a LOT quieter now.
