Why are people so snappy at one another on this forum? If he wants to post a thread so be it. No need to come in here and bash him. Don't like it, don't post.

As far as tokico blues w/ tein stechs I will see how long your shocks will last you. Read that blues aren't recommended for them as they are a bit too aggressive. But good luck with the setup and hope it works out for you. Keep us updated.

Thank You Snypa.

I bought them off eBay from highperformanceoutlet. It was Buy It Now: $183.60, Shipping: $25, and optional insurance was $4. A total of $212.60. I ordered the springs Tuesday afternoon and got them on Thursday morning.

He can post whatever he wants... also people like to share new things whether that be springs or just painted stock rims

Well, blues are basically stock replacements...so I'm not sure how long they'll last with a drop as agressive as S-techs

From my experience with S.techs it is quite the opposite. They are stiffer than stock but not nearly stiff enough for the amount of drop they give. They bottom out very easily which gives quite a jarring ride when you are on the bumpstops all the time. Hell, the first three coils of each spring actually end up touching each other already with just the cars weight on it.
