My handling feels much tighter, stiffer than stock yet still plenty comfortable for daily driving. the drop is pretty low compared to other springs on the market, but i have not scraped or rubbed on anything, even with a wider wheel setupand full passengers in the car. Ive hit a few surprise bumps and potholes so far, even went airborne once, and haven't rubbed.
I went this route because a good spring and shock is better than a cheap coil, and this is not my track car so i dont need a 2000+ dollar set of track coilovers. If/when my stock shocks blow, ill replace them with Koni Yellows. But they seem to be holding up fine so far. I am extremely happy with my purchase, especially at the amount of money i spent.

thanks for the input but just to clarify, you went ahead and got springs first and when you blow out your shocks is only then you will replace them ? so for now, stock shocks (struts, is that right? - sorry about that - no automotive knowledge here at all) is what you are using?
I did look at Tein springs as my other choice if I do go the spring route.
one last thing, what tire wheel setup are you currently using since you have had no issues with rubbing? thinking of getting 18 x 8.5 fronts and 18 x 9.5 rears
thanks
