I had this problem with s-tech's... The left side would sit lower then the right... I got it from horsepowerfreaks.com After a week I changed it to Tein CS's... I wasted $200+ for that crap.... Should've gone with coils in the first place....

In the long run yes, but eventually your going to have to change your shocks some time. With after market springs they are a lot firmer than factory springs, therefore putting more "stress" on your factory shocks that weren't made for aftermarket springs. They basically wear out your shocks faster and eventually make the car ride ****ty unless you upgrade to better shocks.

And their really is no point to coilovers unless you track your car. Three of my brothers had coilovers and they said it was the biggest waste of money because they never adjusted the height one time and never pushed their cars on the streets. If you track your car however they are worth every penny.
