Adam, do you sell the RS*R springs? I'm interested in getting these springs after the winter. PM me a price. Thanks.

Adam, I just clicked on your signature and saw that your "new" website is ready. Looks great and I saw the springs listed there. I will contact you about these in a few months.

ok guys, I've gone with the Teins S-Tech Springs. Progressive with a .6" drop in back and .7" up front. I'll give you my opinions once they're on. BTW, thanks for all your input on these.

Look forward to hering your review and seeing pictures. My only question is why is the front drop more than the rear? Most of the springs I've seen from other manufacturers have the rear drop more than the front.

Interesting trend, would love to see some springs like these eliminate some bounce, provide a little more stiffness, and doesn't need camber adjustment. Which one of these springs fit these 3 things???

So the RSRs provided more roll stiffness by higher spring rates??

Did you have to get anything else with the springs besides an alignment?
