    Sweet, You know how many Kg/mm your springs are? Also How do the brakes handle it?

    The brakes have been upgraded to the 4 pots and bigger rotor. The brakes are amazing.... Pulls up quickly while towing no troubles with ZERO brake fade....

    I actually dont know the spring rates yet...... Not really stiff tho, but much stiffer than factory of course... They are only TEIN Superstreets......

    Sounds awesome, the only thing that worries me is I have heard a few times of towing with some vehicles like this is stretching the chassis with excess load causing read door jams etc to have bigger gaps

    Yeah, I have heard this too, but never seen proof... But with just a bit of care and common sense when towing, it should be ok..... The way they have mounted the tow bar uses thick steel plates and chunky bolts....
