I am looking at some Tein S-Tech springs. They indicate they lower the front height by 1.5" andd the rear by .9". While I have a pretty good grasp on physics, I am not sure how much of a difference this really makes in performance. Is it really noticeable? For those of you who have lowered your cars, how satisfied are you with the results?
Just curious. Thanks in advance for your replies. -------------------- |

yup yup. full coils will be the best. but if you just want some performance and alot of looks then drop springs and shocks.
