Wow, espilir looks to low for me, I live in a hilly area and daily drive my car, would scrap on driveway and into work for sure with that kind of drop. S Tech here I come!
My thoughts exactly.
They have settled a little bit lower then those pictures, not by much though.
I like the ride, doesn't feel noticeably different then stock. All in all, good purchase!
Well I also have larger tires than OEM spec (225/255's) so it makes the gap look smaller, and you wont be scraping everywhere. I live in the land of the worst roads possible PA! and I'm no where near scraping.
Forgot to mention that the ride has changed a lot, much less body roll than OEM, and I rip through corners much faster now, so if your looking for more bang from your buck Espilers would be the way to go.

Here is a pic of the Espiler drop done just this past Sunday.
I have to force my finger to get it in the wheel well, good thing I have practice using my fingers!
that drop looks amazing,im in for more pics of ur car.
Espelirs are great!!!! I have my set on and they are a smooth ride.
1. The espelirs will wear out your stock shocks "faster" but from what I can tell, the stock shocks are able to handle these springs fine.
2.Mine seem to had sagged a little bit but they again it has a better demeanor with the slightly lower stance.
3.They look like they are built with a progressive spring rate.
4. My car sits even
5.I don't have a measurement of my car (I'm sitting in class right now : p)
6. I got mine for 120 shipped with 5k miles on them

From what I have seen, S-Tech is a nice drop for those that dont want anything to low, just better than stock. Has anyone heard anything about the TEIN High Tech springs? A friend has had ASD on his car for 2 years now and now needs to replace the shocks cause they are blown. He did like them them because of the nice drop, but would have done the coilovers route.

Ill get some more pics up soon, my car is dirty as hell so just after a wash I'll snap more.
S-Techs dont seem to be low enough, I wouldnt be happy if I got them.
