I'm running sTechs on stock struts with no problems for 65k miles. I like the ride and the stance. I'm on my phone so I can't post pics but go to my garage to see some old pics of my RS2.

i have the stechs and im also on stock struts. i think the drop is pretty nice, and the ride is comfortable, imo.

If you want a better ride and longevity, get some new aftermarket struts/shocks.

And I happen to be selling some. Just sayin...

If yu buy stechs nd struts yu should just save your money and buy coils. Adjustable ride height and dampering can all be set 2 the driver liking. I'm moving up to Tein SSP's or some b&g's next year. Might sell the springs idk. Supposedly the "new" S Techs aren't as low as the older ones (I'm not sure) so if I get coils sum1 will get sum settled originals for cheap.lol

I have no camber kit. And no my tires do not wear fast.. Your tires shouldn't wear fast unless you didn't get an alignment after or they are jus cheap.lol

Springs get a lil bit lower when they settle so if yu have rims they might rub a lil later depending on yuor size nd offset.. Buy them,Have them installed or yu install, Get an alignment, then Post pics lol.
