I just picked up a set of 4 V710s for less than $400 with heat cycling! Great deal. They also got the V700s for like $79! A steal. I also purchased a set of Enkei RPF1 17x7.5 +48 for G Stock. I cant wait to get the wheels and tires on the car and kick some butt in a couple weeks. I was...

Anyone tried both or have experience with both? I AutoX my DD in G Stock and want a great shock that I wont regret driving daily through pot hole ridden New Jersey. From what I have read it looks like the HD is a little softer than the Sport. Does anyone have any real life experience or...
