how are they? worth purchasing?

 

:D i wanna know too....

 

Excellent product, had them on for many months now. Wether you need them or not depends on a few things, like how lowered your car is and what the camber is now compared to what it should be for your purposes, i.e. autocrossign, road racing, daily driver, etc. Do you need to adjust the camber for varying uses of the car as above or care to do this as needed? The stock setup has some range of adjustment built in, is it enough for your needs?

Give as much info as possible and hopefully you can get an answer that will be of use, I have them and need them, maybe you do as well

i have s techs.....daily driver......no racing.......i just dont want my ____ to start butterflying and get to the point where i go through tires quick.......

 

That is a fairly big drop, to much for stock suspension geometry in my book but never the less let's get on to camber.

You may have a bit of excessive camber, if not you done yet you should have a four wheel alignment done and set to factory specs if you just drive normally. If you like to have fun on the twisties then go for a bit more negative camber in the front but not much in the rear, just a bit more than stock can be fine, to much causes understeer, to little can cause oversteer.

Let it be known how serious you are about handling and how much you use the car for that. If you do it alot more aggressive settings will improve the handling and actually help even out tire wear, to a degree. If you mainly commute then fairly close to stock settings are called for.

If you have not had an alignment since installing the springs, that is the biggest issue you face right now and could of already started wear patterns that nothing can cure completely and accelerated wear is just going to have to be lived with.

More info required;)

when i had my spring installed, i had the alignment done right after! is that wrong? seems like everyone waited a little longer for the springs to settle in. oh and yes my rear tires are starting to butterfly just a little bit too. Im not really into having my car handling the best. The reason i had the car dropped was for looks but i do feel the handling improved just with the springs.

 

i dont think that that is a problem since the spring's only settle a small amount maby1/4 inch or less but that will not make that much of a differance.

 

I should of been more specific, you need to tell the shop what settings you want and what tolerances you wish to have the set to. Factory specs have alot of leeway and are not what you want normally. You want very accurate settings at each corner of the car, you just need to do some serious research into what those settings need to be.

Find the stock settings, decide what you are after in the tradeoffs for different driving scenarios, your style of driving, tire life expectancy, etc and come up with what you need to be running then make sure they make the settings you want.

Most shops will just grab a book, etc, and set to factory specs and be done with you, the faster the better, the more money they make. Finding a shop that cares about you and your car, good luck!
