Anyone running these?? I want a decent drop to sit on some 18's nicely, and these show a 1.8" drop, which should be good. Just wondering if anyone is running them and what the ride quality is like.

Linky They're on Ebay for a pretty cheap price too. I just don't want a measly 1-1.4" drop on the car and really don't feel like shelling out the cash for coilovers.

if u want a good lookin drop for cheap and a really comfy ride, go with KYB GR2s and Tien S-Tech springs. Good ride hight and very comfy, no bounce.

The Tein S-Tech springs are on the list along with the Dropzone (don't ask, but I have no clue why I DO NOT like Eibach stuff) but I want to make sure they're going to sit on the 18's nicely. Reason I'm fussing over it is because the 18's are still some ways off (probably around Christmas time, immediately thereafter my wedding in late November) but I can easily afford at least the springs right now.

Oh and knowing what I do from the F-Body world, I'm going to be using the Bilstein shocks for the Celi.

Eibach?..i know Eibach stuff, its over priced. S-Techs are made by Tien, some of the best suspention in the world is made by them. Japaneese company, nothing to do with Eibach.

Yeah, I figured as much. I was just throwing the Eibach comment in to ward off any recommendations to them. I've never liked how Eibach stuff rode or looked for some reason.

Now Hypercoil.............THOSE are springs. Too bad they went out of business IIRC. At least I got sets for the Trans Am's.

I have the tenzo R springs and got them off of ebay. I LOVE them!!!! The ride is great and I have 17"s and I am damn close to tuckin in the rear. The car looks great and I couldn't have asked for a better product at a better price! Oh and by the way I had eibachs on my last car (yes it was a VW, what can I say) but I literally snapped 2 of them in half, I will never put a set of eibachs on anything I own again.

I'm not an Eibach hater, tenzo has great wheel and spring package deals, and the wheels I want are Tenzo
zo are the Tiens really worth it?
