Suspension Techniques

My buddy just bought the suspension techniques 2" lowering springs. He was wondering how they ride and if anybody had any problems with them? Thanks.

IMOHO, the 2" drop is too much. Dont know about the rate, but probably in the 580# range. If he hasnt installed them yet, I wouldnt. The geometry is off by lowering it too much.

Sorry guys its too late. It sits really nice, but he hasn't had a chance to drive it as it is winter now.
