i found a pair of tein s tech springs that are brand new for sale. they are going for 110 us, there is a 2.3 drop in the front and a 2.0 drop in the back.
are they worth it?

with a drop that low you are gonna need shocks and struts...
but thats a good price... i saw some Tein springs on ebay for like 150 US, but i dont like bying stuff on ebay...any one heard about those??
I wish my grass was Emo, so it would cut itself...

if its a 2" drop and it can run on stock dampers.. that seems like it must be a super soft spring?

I don't know a whole lot about suspensions, but I am told that Tein makes really, reallly good stuff for the most part. I'd upgrade the struts, personally, if I was getting a kit that lowered my car that much.

what would be the maximum you can lower before having to change the stock/struts dampers etc... ??? i have an svtf, which is already kinda lowered, and i'm also looking at the tein s-tech springs only because i'm low on $$$ so i have to go the cheap route for now.
