I just got done puttin these springs on, HUGE thanks to 99hawk262 for the help. I still have the stock decarbons but it rides soo much better than stock. Feels like it's on rails, more tight, and just a tad rougher over bumps. I love the stance, I think it's the perfect f-body stance. I'm super glad I finally got around to doing this. Strano revalves are the shocks I'm buying soon. The clearance with my true duals is GREAT. It all depends on if it's tucked up well. Mine is tucked up very well.
