I know there are a lot of people on here with the same set up, but I would like to share what I think of this suspension. Plus I can't seem to find the review section anymore.
Ok, the install seemed super easy. I had my friend do it since he is a mechanic and I don't know anything about cars. The suspension and camber kit took about 2 hours to install with only one person doing the work. After seeing him install it I'm pretty sure even I could do it. So as long as you have the tools and don't want to pay to get it installed I say do it yourself.
This is my first suspension mod to any car that I've owned and to be honest I was a little worried about having a stiff crappy ride. Once I drove off I knew that some people writing reviews about this suspension may have been exaggerating a little bit about the stiffness. To be honest I wouldn't mind higher spring rates.
This suspension is perfect for daily driving. To me the ride is very similar to the stock suspension. If I didn't know it was installed and drove off I probably wouldn't have noticed any difference in ride comfort. Body roll is a little less noticeable, although I still have my 14" winter tires on so it should be even better when I put my rims on. The car is definitely easier to turn now; the steering wheel moves easier now. It seems that the bump steer is dramatically reduced and I feel much more confident going over deviations in the road at higher speeds. With the stock suspension it felt like the shocks were too slow when rebounding and that seems to be improved as well.
Bottom line, if you are looking for a suspension that will improve the ride and handling, be drivable daily, don't care about ride height adjustability and only plan on racing on occasion then this fits the bill. If you plan to seriously race or want height adjustability then I would look elsewhere.
