it depends, how low u wanna go and how much fender gap u want... if ur satisfied with a 1 inch drop, go with the springs... however if u wanna go lower, u should save up for coilovers.

hey I got pretty much brand new s-techs for sale. They were used for like 3 weeks if that. The drop is 1.2 in the front and 0.8 in the rear. If you want to know what it'll look like just look at the shrimp shack cruise pics. I had the s-techs on then. It's the dg w/top secret kit. I'll let them go for 80 bought them for 200.

This is a good deal, and these springs are near new you only had them for 3 weeks. Im liking the drop and it rides very nice.

i daily my g, and I have the Stechs. Good ride, and nice drop. Not the slammed look, but you can tell its droped. If you got 20" wheels, it will fill your fenders quite nicely.

go with 350 d-specs with g35 s-techs. should be nice and low after the springs have settled.

yes. ANY modifications done to the chassis and suspensions requires recon. Even if it's just springs.
