Love my tires... Of course I only have to compare them to the Summitomo's I had on before. but they were 315's as well. THese Vrede's Hook amazingly. and even when I break them loose, they keep it under control for some reason.

I like the before picture better though the tires and wheels are clean and more shiny so that might have something to do with it.

I personally like the look of the stock ride height best. I prefer the performance of Strano springs best. I prefer the Strano look over the Sportline look. Everything about Sportlines is cacca
