but Eibach is a really good company too, so eather one you will be very happy with the out come

 

Ive waited a while to get my Stechs and boy do I wish I wouldve gotten them sooner. The ride is just like stock only tighter and better
I recommend them, you will be happy with them for sure.

 

Are lowering springs legal on public roads?

 

..yes, depending were you live tho...if its to low you can get hassled, like SLAMMED..but i never heard of it happining

 

Mill, the s tech website instructions i went to said they are for offroad use only. so that makes me wonder..... but with like a 1.5 inch drop ur safe?

 

stechs are fine for every day use. i dunno where u live but im sure u wont be pulled for having a lowered car...never have i ever head of that happening. 1.5" drop is great for daily driving, still will make it over speed bumps and all.

 

That was a quick response, it looks like there are sooooo many warnings and such on the instructions, is installing them somethin that anyone can do or should you get a professional to do it? Is the 1.5 inch drop a real number or is it an estimate if not how acurate is it?

 

its an estimate considering some ppls stock suspension may have been riden on for years and settle real low. but ur car isnt old and unless u have some very worn suspension, then it'll be about a 1.5" drop. installation could be done yourself, but as always i recomend having an extra hand for holding things and just for saftey reasons.
