So, as mentioned elsewhere, my baby is to be lowered. I am definitely on a budget, so I was planning on going tein street basis z CO's. Digging for more info (using the search bar), I came across many who opted to use springs and seem very happen them, especially as the budget friendly approach.

I'm now leaning towards them. It's to my understanding that H&R's provide the lowest drop, followed by tein stechs, and then all of the others. As I'm still young haha, I kind of want to go low; but not the lowest possible. So I'm leaning towards the Stech's. Upon more research, it's come to my attention that many of us had problems with the rear sagging? How common and prevalent is this issue? Does it vary? If it is common, to the point where I shouldn't bother with them?

Thanks!

 

S Techs are a deep drop spring which should also be used with full F&R camber arms/rear toe bolts. IMO you'd be better off dropping milder w/ those Tein coilovers and running the rear camber/toe kit. Price will be about the same in the end (since you "should" have the front camber arms w/ the S Techs). And you can fine tune the height with the coilovers and have brand new dampers. Your current dampers are probably in an unknown state considering your vehicles history. Plus it's much easier getting around town in a vehicle that's just a bit higher.

 

I hear ya, but let's say I did prefer the deep drop, is the sagging problem very common to your knowledge? Or should I be okay? The rear springs have a pocket/dish that they sit in right? If they sag, can a thin plate be put under the springs to raise them up x amount?

I have S Techs installed and yes, the rear is a bit lower than the front. I LOVE the aggressive look of the rear but I'm a huge fan of symmetry so, I'm going to install a spare set of Tanabe rear springs to raise it up a half inch or so and match the front. I'd rather drop the front but I scrape enough as it is.
