Ok guys they went on tonight. Complete install took about 2 hours on jacks, I forgot to torque on of the bolts down so when i took it for a test drive I knew something was wrong as soon as I hit a small bump. Went back re-torqued that nut and it was fine.

No clunks in the rear?

Keep us updated as time goes on. Clunking in the rear is a fairly common ST coilover problem.

Not so far, now I will definitely keep my ears open. I do want to raise the rears a bit.

What are your impressions after driving around a bit?

Quite impressed with the ride quality for entry level coils. Hit a couple of bumps and felt better than my stock suspension w/Eibachs. Will test the cornering more when I head to work.

I am running 18x8.75+35 on 235/40. I have about 3 threads to the bottom so there is room to drop more on the front just a bit, the rears have 15 more on the thread count. the rears in the pictures i have posted are with 11 thread cound i raised it a bit more.

+1 Def a great entry level coilovers for the DD only folks. Great option that I think will fit many. This thread just proves that so many in Tri-state area use ST coilovers.
