Great springs for a great price. Just a tad bit stiffer than stock. I think the perfect drop.

The ride is great, just a tad bit stiffer than stock. Handles pretty well, feels a little more planted.

Good springs for the money. Feels more solid with less bounce than stock.

I'm most concerned about the stock shocks getting soft. Does it bounce after awhile? What i mean by "bounce" is when you lower your car on springs, the stock shocks get soft so your car "bounces" up and down and becomes less stiff. Anyone have a problem like this after awhile?

You can get any of the aftermarket springs aligned back to stock. It's only when you go to coilovers where you can get into problems.
