avoid s-techs at all costs

get espelir gt springs, almost the same drop but with the added performance

plus, the s-techs are the WORST possible springs to put in

For the time being tein s tech looks the best Im buying coilover for the handeling aspect but for the money 130 shipped... you cant beat that with an springs even at cost! And they are not the worst the ebay knock offs are worst!

I had the Tanabe GF210 and hated the way they felt to unstable and to much body roll for me. I installed S tech and love them. They are not the worst out there but people tend to have there negative comments from what they read with out trying them first had. I also tryed other Evo with the tanabe GF210 and it make the back end of the car want to spin out from the body roll, but you should be ok with no issues. What offset you have?
