agreed, i had these before on my '95 Civic and they handled great, even on stock shocks. They're obviously going to be a little stiffer than stock, but they are very good springs for daily driving with the occasional "spirited driving"

No they're not bouncy, they're close to stock ride.

Here you go...







The red integra is mines, the hatchback is friends, both on Tein s-tech with stock shocks. Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest. Have more pictures if you want me to upload them. Hope these help

Thanks, it's good for daily driven car, i'm thinking of upgrading soon to coilovers, these were just temporary. I want something lower and good track handling.

^not on s-techs. They are super soft and the drop isn't that much at all. &lt;--coming from a guy that has ridden them on stock shocks for months and knows several others who has the same setup.

i dont know about the stock struts goin out fast, but it would be smart to get after market struts and throw them on at the same time.

That's my EG after painting with S-Tech's on KYB AGXs. Not a huge lowering job, but the handling is nice enough to use on a road course.

Here she is before painting...
