Just installed Manzo springs (1.75/1.25 drop) on my neighbor's white FR-S. These are supposedly the same springs as the Megan Racing, produced in the same factory, just labeled with a different brand name.
The rear springs were a tad short when the strut was off the car, and rattled around, but once the were installed and the car was on the ground there was no play anymore. Car sat level when finished, and drive pretty nice around the block. Pretty good deal for $115 springs! This was the 49th car lowered in my shop... on Saturday @myd_lyf_crysys will be the 50th!  Manzo Lowering Springs 1.75" F/1.25" R drop.  Rear springs were a little loose until the car was back on the ground.

 @thehapaone and @Decay107 hung out last night and installed Brandon's HKS coilovers. I drank beer.  Even @Jonesy86 stopped by on his way to RDM. .
