how does that ride dingleweed? does it bottom out at all? would u recommend them? how much did u pay for them?
I totally love my ride now. Look in the official group buy forum for a group buy from ADA for these springs. I explain my opinions on these springs in more detail. Bottom line is that the ride for regular small-ish type of bumps it is just a little harsher than stock. But the springs get hard fast and the car stays incredibly level while takine hard turns. I would definitely recommend these springs because of their progressive compression load. They are not too harsh for regular bumps, but very stiff when you need them to be.

I forget how much I paid for them because I ordered them from ADARacing along with a bunch of other stuff.

Chaotix, "settling" just refers to a kind of break-in period for springs. They just sit ever so slightly lower after a while, usually something in the range of sinking another 1/4 inch or less from the time you install them.

What can someone tell me about the Tanabe springs and also the Sprint springs and camber correction kit from Ptuning.com? Are either of these products any good, and is it neccesary to get new struts w/ the springs? Or how long would it take for the struts to go bad after putting new springs in?
Thanks!

I bought the eibach pro system plus (springs, dampners, and anti roll bars) and would recommend it to anybody... I took a 90 degree right hand turn from the right land at 60 mph and to my surprise made it quite smoothly... however I did take up both lanes of the road i was turning on. The ride is comfertable not as good as stock (which isn't that great anyhow) but it totally makes up for it in handling. Body rool is increadably minimal, and accelerating and stopping distance has improved greatly... If you can afford the whole kit which i bought for a $1000 and change do it.
