I have more travel out of my leaf packs than I do out of the coils. But thats ok. Its not going to kill me for now.

Since it seems to invade every thread. If you fellows want I can start a caveman bashing thread where you guys can flame away on all my mods?

What do you say?, I think it would be fun!

I regret getting a 4 door. I love the look of the 2 door and have literally no use for 4 doors. I removed my back seats.

LOL I just took the last part of my back seat out a few minutes ago. I love the 4 door though for side door access to the back.

4 doors mean an extra pillar and a stronger unibody.

You want a 2 door that bad? I'll trade ya..............but, you'll have to put the rear seat back in.

When I first bought it I thought to myself..........well, I'll be the only one in it most of the time so, 2 doors will be ok. I was wrong.

Could be more, could be less.

Hp and Torque aren't free.
The more you want, the more it's going to cost.

What's your point?
