Default S tech springs fitting properly?

I searched and found were people have asked this question but they send them a link that doesn't answer it. That or I just can't read. I have s tech and I was going to put them on my 01 lx but I have heard rumors of them not sitting well for some reason. Is this true? Thanks for the help

why wouldnt it? as long as you seat the springs properly, there shouldnt be a problem. the rears will sag if thats what your wondering. also, your left side will sag due to it being LHD.

what do you mean LHD? An do you know why those springs sag? thanks for the help I was just told that I might have to buy a fitting or something and I was confused as I never had a problem with any other car so I didn't see why it would be different

LHD means left hand drive. so when your in the car there is more weight on the left side so it will sag

i have had s-tech's on my 04 VP for 2 years, never had any seating issues, never heard any popping noises. my rear does sag, its tucking over my tires(barely) but the front is about 1 finger. doesn't seem to sag on driver's side though.

good deal thanks for all your inputs. I will probably put them on in a week or so. Just have to have a few hours free to do it

I had S-Tech's before, and my rear sat lower but i think it was because i was on stock shocks and once they were blown the sag became more obvious
