Aren't you supposed to measure the center of the wheel to the fender for accurate measurements? Also coilovers should be adjustable so of couse they will have a lower stance than any spring/strut combo.

Coilovers can't go as low as the ghetto fabulous cut stock spring combo!

In all seriousness though, having springs just to enhance the look but will blow the shocks out in a few K miles and making handling worse is a huge no no. I'm looking towards the Swift or Works springs for my car.

I had mine on for a few months. didn't like the handling, loved the "look" though. just dont go road-racing, or autocrossing with these springs.

They won't kill you.

The ride won't be great, and you'll most likely blow your stock struts. So if you ever plan to go back to stock, I'd avoid the S-techs.

Also, why waste money on them if you're just going to get coilovers? Save the S-tech money and put it towards the coilovers...

All sales pitches aside... I've got several customers telling me that the Megan Track coilovers (12k/10k) ride better on full soft than S-Tech springs on OE struts... Customers who daily drive their Evos. That's 671f 559r lb/in rates riding better than these springs on OE struts folks. I have no personal experience, but hear that springs like the Swifts ride better.
