I don't think he's serious lol. Since when did a bunch of ls1 owners get so sensetive?

We could actually have a productive conversation out of this though... roadcourse only we could have other options out there.

I'm sensitive because I think a thread sucks ***?

This is not the way to start an intelligent conversation, it draws the people that should be reading to post.... You want to draw in the people that should be posting allowing others to read.

I run these for now, they are nice for the money for a drag shock. Switching to Qa1s however.
