They will work with factory struts and the ride is good.

Awesome springs. I had them paired w/ Koni Yellows. Not a huge drop but great performance and OUTSTANDING ride. I loved them...I have Zeal S6s now but sometimes I wish I kept my koni/s-techs so I could switch them out while on the street. Great choice.

Get an ITR 22mm rear-swaybar also. What car is this going on?

The "S" is for style and definately not speed.....for city cruising they are very good, I sometimes forget that I'm lower cause of the smooth ride, but definately wouldn't use them for auto-x, I feel some body roll with tokico blues..

you'll need a camber kit, they say the DA drop is -2.0", but it was at least -2.5" for me (a little more than I like)

Once you get your springs installed, you can eliminate most of the toe/camber problems with a simple alignment. These springs really don't put that much affect tire wear once you've had a four-wheel alignment. Yes they do lower your car and yes....CARS GET EXPENSIVE. Maybe painting or hiking would be a better hobby? JK
