I wouldn't mess with these springs. The M2 exhaust on the other hand, is a lot of bang for the buck. I love the way it sounds for the price. Springs are different then an exhaust.

Has anyone else here bought them? My friend got these M2 springs and we installed them today. The end result, it's higher than stock height. Can't be install error cause I installed my Hotchkis springs with no problem and we didn't mix the front or the rear up.

I know it takes about a week for springs to settle... but still should be a little lower then stock, unless they will settle 1 inch lower lol.!

Yeah, my friend thought it was worth a shot since it's only $100. The only bad part was that the install was a pain since he has AWD and AFS. But yeah, strangely when we lowered the car down, we could swear that it was actually lower at stock height lol. I can fit my whole fist in the gap almost.

When I changed out my springs, I went with Hotchkis since it was $110 shipped. As soon as I lowered the car off the jack, it went from 4 fingers to one finger but never settled anymore after that.
