Default For those on a budget and care not for a roll call...

just wanted to drop a note on those cheap lowering springs from ebay the green ones Zenn is the name, a friend of mine bought them 75$ shipped and put on himself, ride is pretty good, not bumpy or fidgity at all, nice stance too HOWEVER, after settled the front drop is almost 2.5 in and rear is 2" give or take a lil he has 18s with 45 series tires and hes damn near tuckin the front, so they're cheap and look great but that low a drop im sure stock struts wont last long, just thought id throw that out there. i know i seen a couple posts about them on here so theres a review...josh

Difficult-to-tell counterfeit S.tech springs are being heavily marketed.
Such replicas may be of bad quality and extremely dangerous
• NO precise lowering spec.
• Unknown quality, which may lead to sagging, rust, cracking and noise issues
• Unknown Engineering Data
• Extremely dangerous and can lead to suspension failure

coilovers are in the future so i'm not too concerned.

oh come on ppl.... his suspension will not fail . thats something tein uses to scare you off. the worst thing that will happen is his shocks will blow, which can happen with any brand name springs as well. I know some people that CUT their stock springs to lower the car and nothing happens.

i am for tein as well.. i have them on my car. but no need to flame this guy for just giving us a review..
