Yeah that is what i am thinking too but a friend can get a good deal on either tein springs or h&r springs so i might end up getting either of the two. Maybe down the road when i save up, i will buy the coilovers. But we will see what happens. Ill wait and see what others have to say about this. Thanks for the inputs.

how good of a deal is this? $50?

the springs alone shouldnt run you anymore than $200. i cant imagine how much you'd actually save. if money is an issue for you, i wouldnt even buy the springs to avoid any suspension issues down the road that can lead to more $$$ on repairs.

I have S-techs on my S2K now. The ride is about the same as stock. Stiffer but hardly noticeable. Cornering is same as stock. Ride height is about 1" lower. Basically its stock but without the wheel gap.

It not alot of money saved but it still a good price compared to others. But regardling to keith post, does the wheel well touch your tires, that is about how much i want it to lower, i dont know how much of a drop is that.

Unfortunately they arent that low. Wish they were. I just got mine for dirt cheap from a buddy so I couldnt pass up the deal. You would probably want something with another half inch drop or so. I think stooken a few posts up recommended espilir. I dont know anything about em but lots of people have them so that must mean something.

yeah i want my drop to be as close to the wheel well as possible. Another option is h&r springs but we'll see where it goes. Thanks for the input. More would be greatly appreciated!
