As it turns out these springs are the best I have had yet. I just installed them today and they feel really nice and tight. All 4 tires feel nicely planted on the ground and body roll is non-exsitant.

I would recomend these to anyone.

That's funny cuz the box says SHATZ but the company is spelled SHAETZ.

I wanted something different and I took a risk but I think it was well worth it because these springs are really nice. These springs just aren't popular because they don't do enough marketing here but in Europe they are well known.

Now I just have to see if they sag in time and how much they will settle down in hieght because I flipped out at first because my car looked like a 4X4 after they were installed and I had the shop undo everything cuz I wasn't happy with the hieght cuz I had the biggest pads with my cut springs so I went with #1 up front and 2 in back now to make it look lower but I hope they don't settle to much cuz I have thos 20's and new beefier tires all around for a better ride quality so my clearance has changed. We'll see what happens.

I'm undecided on the wheels and it's kind of hard to sell 2 half sets of wheels for one car. If someone offers me the right price I guess I'll do it. I had a buyer that backed out at the last minute because he had to pay some bills.

If anyone would like to make me an offer please do so and I will consider it. I have brand spanking new tires now 225/35/20 and 255/30/20 for a much smoother ride.
