I just got the S. techs for my sedan. The guy told me there wasn't a difference. They fit on my car. But you DO NEED a camber kit. My rear camber was really bad. The front wasn't as bad but you need a complete kit.

If you want to keep your tires then you will get a camber kit. If you do not want to get a camber kit then get the H-techs or the Eibach pro kit. Anything over a 1.25" drop needs a camber kit. If you do not get a camber kit then your tires will only last about 2500 or 3000 miles. After you get the camber kit then you can get it aligned.

The S tech springs are for the coupe. The sedan obviously has a heavier *** end and the s techs werent designed to handle it. Sure, theyll work, but theyre going to sag like crazy. I had them on my coupe and I didnt like how much lower the rear was than the front, and once they settle, its going to be worse on your sedan.

^This is correct. I would not put them on a sedan, unless you are a fan of the *** sag. LOL

I have Neuspeed Sports that were made for sedan on my coupe. No *** saggage for me! Although I do wish to make my car a little lower... maybe a set of coilover will fix this.

actually they arent that bad, i got my s techs from spoonEM(robbie) its true the sedan is alot heavier but they will eventually settle in. the stechs are just something to lower the car for now but i will eventually go back to the SS coils again. BTW thanks for letting me know that robbie when you gave them to me!

you asked for them. you said you didnt want your car sitting at ride height. and actually, I did tell you they were for a coupe and not a sedan and that it was going to sit lower in the back. I guess you didnt hear me. besides, even if you did hear, you still wouldve had me put them on.

of course it wont sag in the back for you. you got springs that were rated for a heavier rear end on your light rear end, your car just want drop as low in the back.

as far as camber kits go- you dont exactly need one- if you can get everything dialed out with the stuff thats on your car already then more power to your mechanic. But he probably wont be able to after a certain point so bamb, thats when you need a camber kit.

Man.. wasnt there a sticky on "DO I NEED A CAMBER KIT?" in the suspension forum?

No that's wrong. I put my s-techs on around 10k miles ago and my tires are all holding up like ****ing champs. Hell no I wasn't going to buy a camber kit. Just make sure to keep rotating your tires and you'll be good.
