    ST Coilovers Installed

    I am quite happy with the $500 Coilover experiment I am running so far (mind you its been 3 days). Car is settling as expected. Ride comfort is actually better than OEM in my opinion. Less bounce and sway and yet soft on bumps and uneven pavement. I need to lower front and probably raise back a bit but am waiting for it to settle before making any adjustments.

    Sway Bars, CR-15 and the drivetrain stabilizer as well as tranny mount are up next. I will not be doing the end links as I dont want added noise.

    Interesting. I've read multiple good reviews for the ST coilovers but it's always hard to believe that they are "good" versus "good for the price".
    Can the rears go any higher than shown in your photo (and if so, how much approx.), or are they maxed out at the highest setting?

    For the cost/return aspect, the entry level STs offer a very good product if you're planning on DDing your car. Where they fall short, is when they are pushed hard at the track or weekly doses of spirited drives in the Canyon. Aside from those points, I think STs fit their niche perfectly well.

    Back is at mid setting. I plan on going up a bit and maybe lowering just a bit up front.
