Yep. Bought the car with 42k and I put the springs on around 45k-46k. I'm currently at 75k and it still rides the same way it did when I put them on. I don't mind my shocks being stiff (coilovers can be worse obviously) so I don't mind. I also have the lowest drop you can get on just springs I believe.

I had no problem getting mine lined back up into spec but mine goes back out of spec fairly quickly. You don't HAVE to invest in those pieces but they are worth it. Will help with tire life a good bit if you're traveling as much as you seem too. Those were my next mods I was looking into. I wanted to get those when I got coilovers though.

Back in my MR2 days it was utter crap. Nothing from them lasted long or was cheaply made. From what I've read on here I've heard they are still up to the same old crap. It's cheap but I don't think it's as reliable.

I've heard a couple things about the headers/test pipes/exhausts leaking or cracking from either cheap material or bad welds. They actually offer a wide variety of things for many different platforms. I don't know much about there suspension mods and so on. My first example was enough for me to write them off in my book.

There are some people I believe on here that do enjoy their parts from them and are trouble free.

Enough said, I'm not taking any chances.
