    Who installed the springs? There has been a scam going on about fake S-techs being sold, are you sure you got a legitimate set?

    I\'m pretty sure i bought the original one, and I\'m the one who installed it , and for the bump stopper. i cut the front bump stopper but at the back was as is.

    BTW, do we have a DIY on spring installs? I was thinking about doing this the other day since the weather is getting better. Any pro\'s cons??
    Zoomx3 did you happen to take any pics of the install?

    I\'ve been told many times that my car was too low for the dealership\'s alignment rack.

    Set your coils to my ride height and we should be able to do it.

    I just put my S Techs on last weekend... IM getting a few different noises. I am noticing a hint of this sound too... How did you fix it??

    I am also getting a noise when moving very slowly from i think is the rear passenger side...
    Sounds like rubber on rubber, but goes away as I start to get past about 10-20km.
    I dont think that any thing is actually rubbing on the tires thou.

    Can anybody help me out??
