Prepare to be flamed.Those sleeve's are frowned upon.
Have you checked the trader's on here for spring's?
999 has skunk2 for $200 and other trader's may have tein's I think.

Hard to say.
They are the same grade spring steel as tein and hot rolled.

theres no point in lowering your car if you want to spend $250. with springs only they will damage your original shocks later down the track just save up and spend that extra money on get coils its worth it. you can get tein SS for cheap $1300 off our traders.

They will fit, it has height adjustable spring perches similar to a full after market coilover system, except that it still uses stock shocks.

Whether the OEM shocks go in 6 months or 2 years is really a matter of luck, some have had lowered springs on stock shocks and the shocks still works fine, some failed in months....

johnproctor,go for these.they're good quality springs with a 35mm drop.your stock shocks should last a reasonable length of time with these springs as they're progressive and not too stiff.

warranty will not cover them if you have lowered springs (or any springs other than oem=stock)

No.warranty won't cover shocks if you lower it.If the shocks blow just buy aftermarket ones like Bilstein or Koni.i think they cost approx.$1000 plus fitting.

not quite right there, warranty will not cover a fault if the modifcation has affect that particular component.

so if you lower your car with springs and then you get a fault with say an engine component then they will still cover you but if your shocls die on your then that will not be covered as you have modified that component

It will not be covered if you change your springs.
