I did. The S-Techs were a great set of springs, and retained OEM ride comfort. I wanted something stiffer and did not want to fork over the money for the Flex, so I ended up with the Basics. Although I wish their dampening was adjustable, I am happy with them, especially since I am able to adjust the heights.

How is the ride diffrence from the S. Tech to BASICs? I was thinking about doing the same thing. I have the S. Techs now, ride comfort is very similar to OEM. How much stiffer are the BASICs in comparison?

about twice stiff. ride comfort comes more from the rear spring and damp rates.

s-techs are soft 274lbs/in where are basics (if i remember correctly) are
500lbs/in.
