Both. It was very uncomfortable.
Other people stated it felt the same? I definitely getting coils eventually but I wanted to run springs just for a bit and focus on performance parts until the shocks started to give. I'm at 64K and probably putting the springs on soon, they are used though so they should be settled. How long will everything hold up, 6-12 months?

You are wasting your time. Especially using shocks with 64k miles on them.

Ride will be terrible. Put a good set of coil overs on there and don't look back.

Ugh yeah I'd love to pull the trigger on some BC's but I'm waiting for a custom F30 exhaust to be released in a few weeks so my focus is going to be on that and getting a downpipe. But I was hoping the springs could just give me a slight drop and reduced body roll until I got proper coilovers
