| what are they like? I've finally got my hands on a caddy thats actually on the road, but the front is lowered on springs(probably chopped) and it absolutely solid.
Im on a real tight budget, so how do they ride? | |

| Yeah ill vouch for them too, are firm but what can you expect for that money they do a good job, and firmer just mean you can have smaller arch gap  | |

| It does tend feel like it bounces down the road, but the front is solid, any potholes are actually painfull! | |
