Dropped the 66 this week (again)

At the recomendation of a couple of people I got some 2-4 drop springs. After it was all said and done I didnt like it. We fixed it yesterday.

NOW I like it!

Re: Dropped the 66 this week (again)

I am also confused. Did you not like the drop and went back to stock or drop more?
