iv got 40mm and 35mm avo springs and once theyve settled in you dont feel every bump, ok speed humps and potholes are a problem but apart from that i would recomend them, as for coiloivers they are even stiffer than lowering springs

how about taking the car off the 17's and put it on a set of 15's or 16's with higher side walls, and softer springs, ebach are ok, don't think blistin make 40mm drop.
