Anyone tried them?

Are these legit? I figured the stock springs are good for the front suspension with some coilovers in the rear maybe? I've read the front should stay soft but it should be lowered. Cutting springs is not an option.

------------------

I have them on my car and have not had any problems yet, I did have to raise the swaybar endlinks by about 1 inch to prevent the tie rod and swaybar from hitting each other at full turn. The ride is nice and smooth and feels stock to me. I went with Held motorsports coilovers in the rear to lower that an inch and have been very happy with the whol setup in general. Although I have only been running around town, we'll see how it goes when I head up to the Dells in June.

Here's a couple of threads about them if it helps:

I have them on an 88 Mera with no problems and no moving the front swaybar. Everything looks good for me and the ride is the same as the old standard ball joints.

Thanks for the reply and link Dan!

I had mine installed on my Formula over the weekend (along with his longer endlinks) and I'm THRILLED. It lowered it *just* enough to make me happy, and the car handles great.

THANKS, RODNEY!
