I'm also lowered with these springs. Well, highered I guess. It seems like a fuckin 4x4 for me. Do you have before/after pics? Maybe I'm just totally not used to having this much tire gap.

^That's what I thought too, after seeing those spring rates, they looked ridiculously low. I thought that might even be a mistake. But if SilverNT says they are "very very stiff", it just solidifies my doubts. evulflea, when you get yours see how it actually feels relative to prokits (you had those among others, right?)
Oh, and copper, the sig is about toluene

Oh they are on the car. They are soft.
I can stand on them and maybe get them down almost an inch if I bounce. On my coilovers I couldn't move them over a millimeter. My coilovers had 550lb springs.
I've had skunk2, sprint, cheap coilovers, intrax, maxspeed coilovers, and now Teins. Skunk2's kind of suck IMO. Sprint probably were one of my favorites. Cheap coilovers were on and off in 1 minute. Intrax were pretty nice springs but not low enough. Maxspeed coilovers really impressed me and are very good for $100. Teins aren't low at all and pretty soft. Almost like a stock replacement. Hopefully it lowers/settles a bit.
It's hard for a car to go much lower then stock when the springs are the exact same height as stock.
Rears are the same also.
GAP!

>damn you must be an expert at changing suspension now
Ummm. I forgot about a piece from my coilovers. The coilovers have a plate that replaces the little strut cup deal. Anyway, yes this is what happens. But yeah, I can do all 4 in about 2 hours.
