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.

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

i live out in the woods of PA with lots of hills, dips swerves and everything. car rides fine as long as you avoid potholes and bumps in the road. i also daily drive mine and prefer to stay on the backroads instead the main road to work

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.
