Got them installed!!!! Its been pretty rainy here in San Diego so my car is not clean. Will get pics when it clears up. I must say, I am very impressed with the performance of the car. The Tokico Shocks, Sportline springs, steeda rear sway bar, and steeda bumpsteer kit has made my car 100 times much more fun to drive! I am scared now that I am going to pile on the mileage! What I am not impressed with is the very minimal Initial drop. I know I have to let the springs settle, but the car didnt even drop more than 1'"! I thought the sportlines would be more of a radical drop, however, the performance gain I have obtained has greatly overruled my dissatisfaction of the drop. The tokico shocks are really impressive. The dampening effect I have experienced are so smooth. The rebound is quick and precise. The springs are excellent. I feel planted and the ride is significantly firmer. The first ride on saturday on the freeway was a lil bouncy but today it was better. I know with time and mileage the springs and shocks will loosen up and be more comfortable. The Steeda bumpsteer kit is excellent as well. I didnt think i would notice a difference, but wow it is clearly apparent. The steering is much easier to turn. I have seemed to gain a higher turning radius as well. Hitting bumps and potholes have little to no effect in the direction my car is heading and I feel that much more confident! There is my little review of these awesome products. I have cured my itch for MODS right now. Spent over $3k in just a month and my wallet and girlfriend are not happy HAH! UP next is an axle back Exhaust. I was looking at the Pype Bombs. In a couple months ill have it. STAY TUNED. WILL POST PICS IN THE NEXT COMING DAYS FOR THOSE INTERESTED. Have a good one guys!

If the car doesnt drop I wont be dissapointed. I guess it will save my Chin spoiler from damage heh. I will just have to go with a higher sidewall when I get new tires.

Haha puberty. And yeah I love the sportline stance so that's disappointing, but I'm sure it'll kick in! Still looking great. Still love those wheels too

Something seems off, they almost sit more like they're H&R Race springs.

This is my car on sportlines.

yah something is not right. I am not understanding why the drop is not lower. I am going in this weekend to the shop where i bought it from and got it installed. Im wondering if the aftermarket upper control arm has anything to do with it? I dont know. Im sad my stance isnt aggressive like yours and everyone else who has sportlines!

They don't look like sportline springs, are you sure it wasn't a tokico package that was offered? Tokico offers a spring that is red like sportlines, but is a 1.4" front 1.5" rear drop.

Here is the Tokico spring/strut combo

This is a sportline rear spring.
