what size rims and tires r u running? Im guessing s techs dont lower it a inch huh

maybe it will lower a bit more (not much probably) after it settles?

and has the ride quality changed?

19" wheels the tires are 35's

i hope so. yeah it rides so much smoother, less bounce and it hugs the corners a lot tighter

The springs will settle. Wait 2-3 weeks before going in for an alignment.

I also have Stechs and they settled to around 1.1inch in front and rear.

thanks for the heads up. i was gonna go have the alignment on Wednesday.

the s-techs are smoother? i remember i put them on my SRT-4 and i said i would never buy s-techs ever again (they were the hardest springs i've ever experienced, it felt like i was driving a radio flyer red wagon)

did you put shocks on that neon too ?? im riding stocks . before i put them on i could feel my stomach in my neck at times now no bounce

I was gonna say, they don't look like they've settled

Cool then. In for update after springs have settled.

I have the s-techs. The first week, the car was only by less than a half inch. Like everyone mentioned before, give it around 200-400 miles to settle in. The springs will settle and lower anywhere from .7" - 1.1". Mine lowered about .8". Coupled with the oem shocks, the ride is pretty close to stock, a tad more stiff.

How long soes it take a for a spring install? I just posted a thread on the general forum but i prob should have come here.

Local shop today quoted me 5 hours!!!!

1.5 hours at most I'd say.

it took me an hour. the z is real easy to do. it took me more time to get the rear wheels of then to change the out rear springs

i hope so that would be pefect

yeah ill post up a pic in a week

nah i was on stock shocks lol, i bet it was so bad becuase i was riding on the bump stops lol. i heard the mopar stage 3 coil overs were great

looks the same but I'm sure they'll drop more once they settle...

its been a few day and it has dropped some. I'm happy with where its at now.

looks good after it has settled down...definitely more noticeable

It'll drop more, trust me. Mine are about 3 weeks in and its a PERFECT drop...i wouldnt go any lower if i was given free springs.

The ride is much better because progressive fronts keep the car stiff in the front (bc drop is lower in front) so you dont slam your lip into the pavement over every bump, and linear in the back to even out the ride quality and make it alot more smooth than having progressive fronts+rears.

Tein did it right with this kit. It is the only kit i know of that has the progressives in the front and linear in the rear. Hotchkis is good cause lower drop in the rear BUT front and rear are linear, so the ride is WAY too soft and bouncy.

I can take corners like a champ, MUCH better than stock, but not as good as coilovers, of course. I was worried when i first bought these springs cause i thought drop wouldnt be enough...but just give it time, they will settle perfectly. I would have taken springs that went any lower off and sold them if i had gotten say, the pro kit or GFs/Nfs...

man i kinda like it where its at. i guess ill have to wait it out and see what happens. i didnt know it was progressives in the front and linear in the rear. kinda crazy
