Re: Lowering question

its toe that really eats through your tires just get alignment after you install the springs and struts. you will get slightly more camber with s-techs but not much. after awhile you might get some camber wear but i didn't notice a difference in my tire wear when I was on s-techs without a camber kit. then again I didn't have them on long until I upgraded to coilovers.

Re: Lowering question

forgot to mention. The last 2 picture, one of them seems to have a small dent in the black oem housing. Maybe the car was hit there and thats why the guy was parting out? It doesn't look like it would do anything, just a bit of the metal is pointed inwards near the base of the spring.

Re: Lowering question

The front springs seem kinda loose where as the rear doesn't move in the houseing at all, will this change when they're put on the car or is that how they're supposed to be??

Re: Lowering question

That's normal, once they're installed just check the torque on the spring retainer bolt.

Re: Lowering question

Sup Bro! I'm back from the dead too. Great price on those. I'd love to pick up a set-up like that if/when I get my coilovers serviced. Jealous.
