Coils are the way to go. S-tech's made my suspension rough and I just installed coils and its great now.

 

i agree with cj9a i just put bc racing coils in and i love it amazing huge difference, as for the s tech save your money and go coils your gonna need sturts in 1-2 years anyways, also stance wise the springs would be good and not rub to much but expect the rubbing at maximum turn and on a hard bump. my cars is lowered more then any springs would i have 17x7 rims and 215 45 17 tires which are also to big for our car but fit nice and i only just rub on max turn and over a large bump so

 

just to clarify some old info in this thread, as i did this last weekend.

1. CON: Ride quality suffers slightly, but not bad IMO, but is hard on the struts. PRO: Very tight in the corners, body roll is furter minimized. (still want coil-overs)

2. Rear strut/shock lower bolts seize...it's a rubber bushing with a metal sleeve...the bolt will rust-weld itself to the sleeve, breaker bar should break it loose, impact gun did not in my case due to rubber bushing. once you break it loose, then punch it out with a drift punch and hammer, if not, you can back it out with a ratchet, like it's threading it's way out, but it's not really...use anti-seize when reinstalling, cause you're struts won't last long, and it will make it easier next time around.

3. Spring compressors are not needed, old springs can be removed simply by wrapping the entire strut/spring assembly in a heavy blanket, then put one foot on it, and remove top bolt with impact. If shaft spins, squish the "boot" as far up the shaft as you can and put vise-grips on the shaft as close to the top as you can get them, and repeat blanket method. Teins can be installed on the strut by hand, front and rear, so if using new struts, you will not need to compress the springs, unless you have girl arms and weigh 110lbs.
