Want to drop my car, tein s springs?

I have tokico adj. struts on my car now and I'm looking to lower the car. I had tein s-techs on my 8 last time and I'm thinking about getting them for my FD. I can get them for $150ish off ebay and $120 to install. Hows the drop and ride and if you have any pictures please post, thanks.

Here is what they look like on the FD

I think the spring rates are around 420 Front and 320 Rear. Feels a bit stiff with 255X40X17 tires but, not bad, as long as you set your shocks to soft for the street. I have not bottomed on the roads yet with two people in the car despite being pretty low.

Installs pretty easily.

You're welcome. Yours is a very nice car! It'll look great with those springs.

Here is a couple of more pictures. I am stingy with pictures as I only have dial up, the only thing available since I moved from the Bay Area to the mountains.

Also, to answer the other question, the front end is a modified '99 spec that I got from Extreme Dimensions through E-Bay.

It was called MBAutosport's "Feed Style" bumper before that. That front has gone by several names over the last 4 or so years.
