How do you like them??
Lowered the car the perfect amount, and all but eliminated most of the body roll when cornering...they soak up bad roads better and ride better overall. I'm very happy with them.

well, i will cross out on the neuspeeds. So, whats the word on espelir? i have gone through about 40 pages about them. Can anyone fill in on the handling aspects of the these springs? I see their spring rates are nice, but what about the roll center? anyone using these for autox or hpde's? just curious. I wanna make sure i test the whole grounds.
And, lastly, it seems that many s2k owners are riding around on teins. So, who has some good word about those springs? anything that sets them apart from most? i had s-techs on the subaru and then i upgraded to mono flex coils about 9 months later. No issue with the springs on the subaru. Since im new to the s2k world, please, fill me in. I would like to buy springs as of next week. I dont want to make a bad decision.
***I would love to get coilovers, but they are just not in the cards right now. I want something that will get me by for the time being as school is becoming a hindrance. I will do coils when i have the time. I want them now, but hell, i will wear out the shocks and then decide from there. haha. So please, just info on springs. I know the adverse effects, but i want some positives for the couple that i had mentioned. Thanks!!****

now, after reading into the 04-07 and seeing that the car was built with a less stiffer rear end, i would like to know what spring would be best for that. all the springs look to be more designed around the earlier models as they had stiffer rear spring rates. Will this be an issue for an AP2?? The only spring in the list that would fit the quota for higher stiffness in the front is the neuspeed set. Just curious on everyone's thoughts with AP2's that have springs. Thanks!!
