Default modded s-techs

i currently have the s-tech's and i want to go a tad lower to complete my wheel fitment mission. i dont want the cost of a full coilover since i do not take my car to a track of any sort.
i know the skunk2's will drop it lower. but by how much? and how is the ride/handling with the S2's?

i tried to utilize the search feature, but it failed and is showing absolutely no results. so i'm posting up.

thanks ahead of time for your input!

Get Espelir springs. Nearly OEM ride quality, but about 1 finger gap all around. Best drop by springs you can get, IMO.

Adamo41188, did you only use Skunk2 springs or a full set coilovers to drop your S2k? Do you have any pictures of your S2k?

Just the springs, heres the best pics I have. If I had a real camera like the other guys use on here, you could really see how low it sits. These pics make it look high and the shadow throws it off

How is the alignment after new springs installed? Did you have to install new camber kit also?

Alignment is fine and the stock camber kit has plenty of room to play. I think stock can go up to -4 deg?
