How low do you want to go? I have Sprint springs and its around a 2" drop. I really feel that all 5th gens need a drop like this or the Tein. The Tein drops 2.2 front and 1.6 rear. I've been on my stock struts for the past 18,000 miles and I have had no problems at all. It is different with every car though.

thanks

How did your ride change? Is the ride still smooth?

Ride really hasnt changed much. It got smoother after the install and is still pretty smooth today.
