Yeah , I went with Tein S Tech springs. quality name and supposedly gives you the drop you're looking for. Wish I had taken before and after pics just so that I can show the drop but basically - before the drop you can put 4 fingers in the front fender well and now i can just squeeze one finger. the rear is the same but instead of 1 finger , its 2. hardly noticeable when looking though that one finger difference.
Ride quality is a mix up of good and bad. Good in the sense that, you have better handling in turns now and stuff ,but on roads that are not so good ( occasional bumps and not so perfect pothole fix) you definitely feel them. on perfect freeways, its very fun to drive , but on some that are kind of dated and have those lines every 20 feet or so, you feel them a lot more than with the oem springs.
Also , because I had them lowered and installed a staggered set up of Enkie Kojin wheels with size of 18 x 8.5 fronts and 18 x 9.5 for the rears, I have a camber offset of 2.1 degrees in the rear. I now need to install rear camber arms and rear toe arms to have that properly corrected. I planned on installing them anyway but not so soon, I guess my intake project will have to wait till i get that fixed.
I don't have a build thread yet, but you're more than welcome to look at my album to see the drop and my new wheel set up.
thanks
