I bought a ST XTA Suspension for 900$ CAN 2 years ago. Bought them without seeing them in person and was shipped via mail. I realize I was lucky it went well.
It's one of the best deal I've ever done. The car now is more confortable and more capable. Half the price of a new set seems fair to me. |

To me the Flex A's are a bit overkill his needs but at 1000$ they are a steal IMO

for a street driven car with some camber 17x9 with a decent offset should be fine.

I had no poke on that setup with lowering springs, all else stock. I did have some rub which a lot of people comment they don't have so

Camber bolts will be all you need if anything. Yellow spring plus stock dampers are a solid combo. Yes it will be a bit harsher but nothing like cheap coils or really bad lowering springs.

Camber bolts tilt the top of the wheel in, making the rubbing of the tire on the spring perch even worse.

And then camber plates will be needed if camber bolts don't work, in which case you're approaching the price range of just getting coilovers...
