ive got the s- techs on my sedan. rwd. with the sports package and the ride is not much more harsh then stock. the drop is perfect almost tucks the tires all the way around and handles the corners much more aggresivaly. ( if u have the factory mud flap things on your car take them off, or you'll hit them on eveything about 1'' to the ground with them on"

The fronts are good (rate and height), but the rear's spring rate is much too low
from my experience and the car sits too high from a dress-ups perspective.

Yep, you can just get the car aligned without other parts and get a
decent alignment. It'll be off from factory but not too bad. I recommend you get
a set of swaybars too while you get the job done.

I didn't get an alignment yet, but the car still rides straight. You can still make it over most speed bumps and driveways going straight, just slow. I always angle at least a little bit just incase though. After a while you'll learn which ones you can and can't make it up by looking at it. I've been driving a lowered car for 6yrs now, so I'm used to it

Yup I'm the guy with the yellow MR2 also. Yeah I just recently picked up a G for my daily driver last year. I'm on stock shocks with the S-Techs.

Good quality springs. I think it is not low enough in the rear. If I have a FULL tank of gas it sits perfect. I took out the rubber pad from the bottom spring perch, this lowered the car another 1/4". Camber arms, toe arms, and front camber arms ARE A MUST.
