Default tein s-teck installed

I just installed a new pair of tien s-teck springs on my 2000 civic, 1.95 in the front,1.67 or somthing in the back, there great, it feels like my stock springs,not bouncy,a little little bit stiffer (that i can tell,only had them for about 4 days), and it corners amazing!,alllllllllllllllllllot less body roll, and when he installed them,he dident cut the bump stop and there nooo problems at all going over bumps..its not that low, but just perfect for an everyday driver but people say it might get a little lower,i need to let the springs settle a bit more (only had them for 4 days),anyways,just letting you guys who are asking about these springs,here are some picks too, u cant really see how low it is because the way the ground it but the back wheels start to tuck...

it shouldnt get much lower. it will drop (maybe a couple of mm) as the springs settle, but they wont really sag. Teins are guaranteed to never sag more than (i think) 1mm. sweet springs there man. enjoy them.

You can get them on eBay for like $125 or less shipped. And just so you know, the back ones will probably take a week or so to settle in to their measured height.

Here's a question: will you have to install different struts? or anything else like camber adjuster things? I didn't know if you would with such a small drop... I know hondas are bad about breaking struts if you don't replace them after lowering the car...

just wondering... anyone know? cuz I wanna get a set after I get my car... lol

S-techs are pretty basic springs as far as drop and stiffness rates go, so you don't NEED to replace your struts. And as for camber, 1.5" isn't going to give you even -1o, so you don't really need to worry about it.
