    Got new springs on 01

    well I started off lowering my car with some r-1 racing coilovers that i picked up from someone on the forum, autobacs couldn't get them to lower even on all sides and i had them adjusted to many times, the ride was really poor, i could even feel it when i drove over a zip tie, that was bad, but i had stock shocks , so I had replaced the shocks with Tokico struts, a lil better but still bumppy as all hell, so i thought ok I am gonna buy springs, so i went ahead and got Dropezone springs, and they were fine, good, i wanted it a bit lower, but they were ok, till i drove to and back from texas to california with a car loaded down to the max.
    I just changed my springs to teins s-tech the other night, I love the look it gave my car, but i thought the handling would have improved, but i can't corner as well with the s-tech as i did with the dropezone, should I go eibach?

    If anyone in socal is looking for h-tech, I have a brand new set I am looking to sell, my husband thought i wanted h-tech. 949-939-5686

    I also installed a hyper ground kit last night.

    If you post this 2 weeks ago, I'll get the H tech for sure. Now I got the S tech in a local store already. (I want H but it's more expensive so I got S) :(

    for good ride quality along with a decent drop, you can't beat the S-techs. I'm not sure about 01-02s but for 03+ the s-techs are also the biggest drop. Which is why I was so surprised at the great ride quality. Most of my friends don't even believe me that it's dropped 2.4" after riding in it lol.
