Update:

Installed one more pak of tein silencer rubbers on the rear springs, and I'm happy to note all coil slap is eliminated.

I was so happy, that I drove my car to work today!! Nice dry 30 degree December day.

I can not express how much I love these springs, and how well they ride and handle. I was on various pavement surfaces this morning, and they performed fantastic.

You really do forget you are riding in a lower trim height car.

Do you have a pics of the car after the springs settled? Unless it didn't make too much of a change. But it sits nice from what I seen on the first page.

I've put maybe 15 miles on the car since the springs were installed.

I have it out today, and will take some photos of it later on.

It still sits the same. Which is perfect for me. Lower than stock, but not slammed and still has some rake to it.

A few questions. Are these springs rates good for a fwd car? Does it droop in the back? I had cm springs. Didn't like the even look. I like the rake style. Do these lower the car more then cm springs? Thank you

These springs have superior spring rates compared to cm springs.

The springs rates are perfect for our cars. They are firm, but not harsh or bouncy.

They do not droop or sag. The drop is 1" front 1.5" rear. Yes, it has a raked look.

A final photo of the rear springs with the tein silencer rubbers installed. Three silencers did the trick. No more coil slap



and a nice shot right before I parked her earlier this week....

I really like the drop that it gives. Are you expecting it to drop a bit more once they are settled

Nah. They've been installed for a month now, and havent changed.

I'm glad, because it still has a raked look which I like.
