bumpy... I know on my 2gn ACR I put 1gn RT springs on it and the rear was really stiff... this is with ACR struts though, so the ride is already bumpy. I still have them on the front and I personally love the front, it looks good and rides better. DUE EET!

hmm thanks buddy... I realised today theat there is some clunking coming from the struts (front and rear) so strut mounts may be in the near future.... so the 1gen acr springs may not do that any good till the mounts are replaced... anyone have expericence with the springs on stockers?? and also what shocks does the 2gen ACR use???
