dude. dont regret leaving this post. its all good. you live, you learn. just drive them now because you have em in. when they go, replace them with something different. maybe you'll like them. a lot of us have bought after market stuff that we regret. i have. and some things are even opinion. just like whether or not to buy rustys. people are back and forth about their products on here. its opinion.

P.S dont start this into a huge rustys debate. we heard it. i was just using it as an example.
