Just so you know, @
Stav got me a good price on Tein S-Techs. Was a boxing day deal, at $250, think they're regularly 270 though.
Fairly happy with them, especially considering that they're a bigger drop than 1", think it's 1.2" if memory serves correct. Would recommend them. The handling trade off is worth it for me to kill the wheel gap almost entirely, and the ride isn't half bad. Not OEM level, but not harsh or jarring. Just a bit more firm. Slightly more bounce over bigger bumps than stock, but that's a rare occurrence
