Im sure you love them but what size tire are you running? Some whopping 225's would be my guess. Step up quad shocks vs.man size tires = man size tires all day long

Why do a lot of people hate these things, I have them { KYB's }with upper& thelower control arms & love the way my car handles... freaking thing is tight..Cant be a weight issue..dont get it ??
because they dont really do the job they were made to do, once you have u/l control arms they do nothing but waste usefull tire space

because my 275/60 et streets wouldnt fit if they were there and those tires are more helpful then a POS quad shock

" man size tires ". ? LOL[8D]
I like the sleeper look of my car & tire size, my car doesnt see the dragstrip { mostly because there isnt any here on long island any more } but she performs well in the twisties with the " boy size Pirelli' PZero Nero's , heck she doesnt scrape the wheel well either..
Car may perform betterwithout the quad shocks for allI know sinceI never took them off but I doubt it, except for the dragstrip exclusivly butI like to tour with my car too.. 4000 miles last 3 & 1/2 months..All on boys tires with quad shocke w/Upper& lowers..

if you have aftermarket control arms and good quality urathane bushings the quads are unnecessary
