Hmmm... 1.75 is a bit lower than what I really want. Anyone have any experience with Tein S-Techs? Any other suggestions would be appreciated also.

no personal experience, but from what ive heard the Teins offer a very bouncy ride compared to the others. A good compromise would be the Eibachs - ride is good and they dont lower quite as much as the Espelirs.

<---- espelir here as well.

IDK, they are supposed to lower 1.3 inches, but it seems when they settle, it ends up being around 1.5 or so...

I would recomend the Espelirs as well. Using them on my AP2 as well. Generally im not a huge fan of just doing springs on stock shocks, but so far im happy for this type of setup on the car. I plan on going coilover eventually, but these just fit the budget for the time.

If you are looking for a set, let me know, i have a source to get them cheaply.

ugh. whatever's SOFTER and lowers LESS..

i'm running 11kg/mm springs all around on these JIC coil overs. and i'm really glad the car's not here to be PUNISHED by Chicago/IL roads. cuz even on smooth roads, your kidneys really take a beating. and no, i'm not that friggin old.
