I know they look nice :) adjustable ride height, someone gave me the spring rates at one point, forgot it. I rode in this kids 240 w/ them and it handled real well, but wasn't a harsh ride by any means. He loved them and paid like 1200 for them, i found them on sale, so I promply bought them, then promply wrecked my car before ever enjoying them :(The only thing is you have to use the stock top-hat, so you'll need a spring compressor to put them on, but you need to use it w/ a regular spring/strut combo and the struts and springs are tuned to work well together.I looked at some reviews before I bought them, there were mixed reviews, as with any product someones not gonna be thoroughly impressed, but for the most part people were happy.They aren't for the extreme track junkie, more for the street and weekends at the auto-x/strip.

I dunno and i dont wanna say yes, beacause I've been told things fit when they dont, and I dont wanna do you like that,but if they have the same bolt pattern It should fit, right?those are for camber correction, right?I never looked into it, I like negative camber,for handling just not what it does to your tires.

YEAH I'M LOOKING FOR FRONT CAMBER CORRECTION, THE TEINS SUPPOSEDLY FIT THE STOCK SHOCKS. I LIKE 0 DEGREE CAMBER FOR FULL CONTACT. YEAH I APPRECIATE THAT YOU ARE NOT JUST GOING TO SAY YES THEY FIT.
