best advice, and being helpful before you get flamed bc their is so many threads on it, buy other springs. i have them on the car, and never noticed any ill effects until i added some bracing, RSB and bigger tires etc. springs are too soft, and lowers the car "too" much.

as far as looks, it will sit low and look super hot. regardless of what people say, i felt an improvement in handling but would go with something like swift or the like if i could so it over again. but hey, if it comes with the car, then its all good haha. gl with the decision!

Have you researched these springs? They have horrible reviews.

/facepalm. Worst springs out there. They ride ON the bump stops. Prepare to buy a new set of struts.

Search, read (lots)...and you cannot adjust ride height with springs. They are preset.

To contradict all of u, my buddy had s-techs look good rode great still handled 50k on stock struts so all u keep on saying they suck. To each there own , smike is right about those other proven springs , so u decide . I can't bash something I expierenced on my own, so to me s-techs are a good streetable spring. Just search before posting a facepalm lmfao
