Not long ... maybe 5-6 months. The H-Techs are great springs even on stock struts they were great.

The SSP are great too. Unless I hit a real $#!+ piece of pavement thats buckled or badly patched for any distance they ride smooth as butta. In fact the roads that bounce me around badly do the same in any car with sporty suspension, lowered or not.

i believe if you got them for under 1k, they are totally worth it. i have seen them here on SL for 1k+. so it looks like you got a great deal. the drop looks really nice BTW...

Not yet. I just got an alignment (-0.5f/-1.0r) and I'm picking up some spacers (15mm rear and a custom 10mm for the front) so I'm waiting for the funds to replenish atm.

A little neg camber is good. I autox, road race and commute in this car so I wanted something that wouldn't eat my tires up super quick but still aid in handling.
