where did you get them? my local shop instals them for FREE if you buy them at their shop! but you need to get it aligned somewhere else. i think they said its an hour install? ZRAYGO, why do you think he shouldve gotten the coilover kit instead? it would be nice, but if he NEVER wants to raise, or lower it again he should be fine. im considering these springs as well. i like the coilovers, but i dont think i would ever raise, or lower them? so i cant see spending the extra $$$ for them? unless you know something i dont know?? other than being adjustable, is there anything that makes them better? id like to know before i order. thanks!

I was thinking of getting these for the street, since my eibachs suck ***. Which is really a shame, Eibach used to be a really good company. I get a lot of negative feed back from my customers about Eibach all the time. Stupid impatient me not waiting for something else and buying the eibachs days after picking up my G.


Anybody got pics? reviews of both hard street and track driving?

yeah i'm not going to raise it up or down....besides it's not going to be THAT low that i'm going to be scraping the ground all the time.... so no one has these yet? so i'm the first one to have it?? i'm wondering if this will take the bouncyness off the car... as for the price for installation and alignment the best price i found to be 120^^

Have have the S-Tech springs, and I'm more than pleased with them. No more freeway bounce and the springs are progressive. Here's a pic with my springs.

i got the NF210 Lowering springs. I have to say, its the perfect drop. I can give you before and after pics this weekend. You do need an alignment, but other than that and the springs, there are no other costs. I just heard good things and wanted to try something besides the eibachs.

So what exactly is wrong with the Eibachs? I am looking at new springs and was considering these. No springs will eliminate the bounce as it a shock/damper problem.

I have Eibach's and love them. The car was lowered 1 inch everywhere, and the bounce is about 80% eliminated. Unless the performance deteriorates with time, I don't see any problems with them.

Maybe you should ask these questions BEFORE you purchase a product.

i'm all but sold on the s-techs. the only thing i'm a little worried about is that they r softer than stock, which would mean they'll work your shocks more, right?

Bye bye shocks & camber.what if its too low or not low enough?Are those linear or progressive?I bought the Eibachs which are progressive, then began the research like you are doing only to find out that springs were not for me.I then returned the springs and put the money towards a set of Tein basics which are only $780,linear shocks, and pretty easy to install yourself.

So what is the difference w/linear and progressive?? Im stuck between S-tech springs or Tein Basic setup..
