Default "S-Line" parts at Stratmosphere

Does anyone know about these parts? How do they compare to aftermarket parts from say, APR ?

Default I wouldn't do it. What's the point of buying crap OEM shocks and springs that'll

leave a stance that still resembles a high-riser?

If you don't want radical lowering, go for Eibachs with Bilsteins or Konis.

Default Hmm, my comments...

I guess I would disagree in as friendly a way that I can here, no offense. S-Line ride height is about the same as Eibach or ABT springs with Bilsteins (I know, I had the ABT/Bilsteins on my car). Car is in the shop, or I would have ride height pics for you. Pics soon and the car will be at TT-East. -Pete

It's not the cheapest set, but I can tell you that this single item has the least profit I've ever made from a product. I liked it so much, I had to bring it in. I will say that a number of folks are putting these on in the next 2 weeks or so. Then there will be more feedback. -Pete

Default I also agree as well, factory performance parts are better engineered

in order for parts to make into the "performce" book of any manufacturer they are subm,ited to more rigorous test.

I try to buy factory performace most of the time, I know that the fit will be much better

Default It look like that you only replace the front shocks. That tells me that...

the rears don't need to be replaced?

Just a thought. :-\
