TEIN Springs
How many of you installed this springs?
How low will it drop the car? My shop says that it will drop the car 1.0" front and rear after a couple of days.
Up to now (2 days after install), it has dropped around 0.5". Is that normal? Will it drop more later on?

It settles alot in the first 1-2 days. I will take about 10-14 days to fully settle- mine ended up about 0.75 drop. Left the front at that setting had the shop drop the rear another 1" (1.75 total)

I've waited for a while now, and I think that's as low as the springs will settle.
If I go and cut the springs, will it affect the performance/handling of the car in any way?

Are you talking about the S. Tech springs? I didn't know they were out yet?
Anyway, if these are indeed what you have, can you post a pic of the car so we can see the drop?
Also, how much were they?

Damn, I should've checked first!
Eibach drops the car by 1 inch front and rear correct? Any other springs go lower than that?
