Suspension Technique Springs

Does anyone here have Suspension Tech springs and know whats the drop is with them? Im looking to get rid of my H&R and possibly get a set of these or another set of springs that will make my car sit just a lil lower then my H&R's.
Any info/help would be appreciated.

thanks,
Anthony

maybe this will help....

Anthony, I currently have ST springs on my stock struts and its deffinitly lower than Eibachs or H&R's. I have a friend that has H&R's on his 4th gen and my 3rd gen with ST's looks noticable lower. The handling improvements are also great with the ST's. I also think that the ST's are linear, where as the H&R's are progressive. Don't quote me on that though. My ride is a little bit rougher than my friends, but remember that I have yet to replace my struts H&R's have been known to give the softest/stock like ride.

Hope this was some help to you.

Later,
Kevin

Anthony-

My ST springs lowered my car ~1.6-1.7" front and back. The front coil are linear rate and the rears are progressive. I recently replaced my STs with Intrax and the Intrax are much lower and I love it. I use to have a 2.3" gap in the rear and now I've got less than 1.2". The front is 2" vs 2.5". Honestly, I think the STs height is really close to the H&R, only slightly lower. You'd be better served going with Sprints or Intrax if you want a lower drop.
