I have to disagree with Joe on the ride of the MaxxStuts. Once you lower the front and fill the fenders full of wheel and rubber, you only have 2 inches or less of travel left before you have rubber to fender contact. Couple that with the 17 inch 40 series tires that he was running and the ride will be stiff on either strut. I think the maxxStrut manages the small amount of travel very well. I am running a 50 series 16 inch tire and have driven the car on several long trips and lots of in town driving and have no complaints with the ride. It's no Lincolin Town Car but that isn't what we are after either. You could put 40 series tires on a Lincolin Town car and it will ride like a lumber wagon. If I were building a track car I would spring for the Kerschers just for the adjustability, but for a street car that handles well, I like the MaxxStruts. John has done a great job with them. I think that most people that have them or have tried them will tell you the same thing.
