Just checking as the shop also tried to get close to stock, actually my numbers are close to the Rspec alignment so I'm fine with that


I ordered my springs from there eBay Store and it took about a week as they ship ground from California

Looking to get some updated feedback here.
I want the ride to be more stiff, because right now it's way to soft for me haha...

You might want to find the Rigid Collars thread first. Might be just what you need and a lot cheaper

This is a good advise, unfortunately i don't know a shop in NYC who would do this. It's a quick job and they're not interesting in making $75. And i don't see why should i pay $200+ for this.. Right now I'm driving in Sport mode to get the stiff ride, but MPG isn't great - 9-10MPG

Great pics. I just got my GT-F springs installed yesterday and WOW!!! What a difference in handling and the drop is perfect for me. The ride is still amazingly smooth.

My drop is extremely aggressive. It'll scrape coming out of the driveway. Update as of now, it's still holding up. However, I'm starting to hear some creaking coming from the suspension at low speeds. Not sure what it is.

The car is very tamed, with JUST the drop. If you add in new summer performance tires, wheels, the drive will be stiffer and tighter. When I first had the drop done, my 6 1/2 hour drive home was relaxing. I felt the car hugging the corners better, and also feel them potholes more.

Installing the springs is more bang for your buck, you will not regret it (unless you're Dareck, haha! jk Dareck).

Of course not! they didn't have to go thru both sets S and F, as I did the homework for them. They own me one now!

ps. I am wondering how long the front struts are going to last, since they're compressed so much all the time? 1.75'' drop isn't a joke.

Hm, never had lowering springs, only coilovers… I think i'll lower it after winter.. thanks!
