ST Suspensions Sporttech Drop Springs

Forgot about this Suspension Company but I never knew anyone that had used them.
Suspension Techniques / ST Suspension div of KW Automotive & Suspension Techniques / ST Suspension div of KW Automotive Parts. Interesting!!!

I had them on the fit I was the test fit vehical for ST the web says that is about a 1.5" drop but it is more like 2" I am now riding on a set of ground control coilovers and loving them. the ST springs I have were made for the usdm fit it is a progressive rate spring and the do make the handling of the car much better.

here are some pics of when I first got the ST springs put on they setteled a little after the pics were taken. but as you can see it is more like a 2" drop not 1.5".













The back of the car sits lower I noticed than outher kits do. their was no rubbing issues when I was runing stock 14s but when I went to 16s that I got from jts14 I had rubbing issues. he did not have any rubbing issues with the rims and offset with the df210. sorry their are so many pics but I wanted pepole to see just how low these springs really are.

Wow! Thanks for sharing the pics. That kinda drop would not do me good up here in Toronto w/the occassional heavy winter snow days.

I wonder if they took customer feedback and improved?

Did they ask you for any comments and opinions?

Just curious.

I did give them my feed back on the rubing issue. Their statment back was we all have problems trying to balace good looks.
so if you are woundering no the are going to relase the same springs I have in my closet now. another thing is that they were sitting so low that the people at ground control told me that I was acctually resting on the bump stops. they also said that alot of companys that do springs do them more for looks than preformance.
I acctualy tubed my front fender wheels and cut the inside of the rear so I do not rub at all anymore.

But I am very happy with Ground Control.
