They'll handle a little bit better just because of the fact that the springs and struts are setup to work together. The stock struts werent designed to work with a 2" drop so they wont work as good but you still get decent handling because of the cars lower center of gravity.

It is physically impossible for you to run 0 camber (even with front and rear camber kits) with that aggressive wheel and tire setup you have on your car. And i can gaurantee that with only a 1" drop instead of the 2" drop you have now, your wheels will stick out and not look nearly as good.

I installed my basics a few months ago and so far no noise from the suspension. the ride is a bit stiffer than the stock sport suspension but i like it
I would think the basics would handle better than the stechs considering that you get the shock to match the spring...right? as far as the drop w/ no negative camber, i don't think you can get too low without some negative camber. i've raised my car 2x since the installation because the camber looked way to crazy. looking at the pics of your car, yours look lower than mines.

 

A better question would be how did you get a 2 inch drop out of the stechs? Cutting coils?

 

although i am new and did a lot of research i am wondering the same. 2"??

 

someone told me that you could go as low as about an 1" before you need a camber kit with the Basics.

 

Zero noise on my BASIX

 

REVIVAL!!! lol
So basics are lower than s-techs? cuz i was told u could go as low as 2. 1/2'' while the s-techs only get 1.5'' or am i mistaken?
