Who has used their stuff? Good? Bad? Settled ride height? Ride comfort? I'm looking for something close to stock comfort (turbo SS) but a little lower. And no I don't have money for coilovers.

A friend bought them for his car, it really stiffened up the ride and the price was pretty cheap if I remember correctly

I'll take a picture of mine tomorrow. I have a base sedan, with 18 inch wheels and 235/40 tires. there is an inch of clearance now. I hardly ever bottom out unless I fly over bumps on highway 1. my gap used to be about 2.5 inches with 45 height tires.

I like my CM springs. Perfect ride height for me and comfort isn't too bad.

(Note that my sig pic is with stock springs)

No, I like to keep stock parts just in case.

Yes, it worked very well. I hit some good bumps and nothing hit the bottom.

Quick side note. With 235 tires my rear tires are rubbing. Think it's cause I have drums. But that needs to be assessed ASAP.

Hey Lino, if you call them you can just go pick them up in Surrey. Saves shipping.
