These cars definitely aren't cheap . I'm lowering soon and not looking forward to the cost of it. I really hope the tour tech works out for you, keep us posted.

P.S. Just curious, are you close to the Wichita area?

I've always been cautious of ebay, never had good luck there but I hear of people all the time getting amazing deals, just be sure to do plenty of research is my best advice. I'm waiting on some money right now before I can lower mine and get rid of the hideous wheel gap with some Eibach Pro-Kit springs from American Muscle.

I'm in Wichita almost once a week, I live south about 20 minutes in Wellington.

Never heard of them man, and what's more interesting is that they are only available through an ebay vendor...not a good sign.
They are not listed on touring tech's website which would probably mean they are discontinued.
With all the well documented feedback on suspension components listed on this website alone, I cannot understand why someone would consider an untested product to save a couple of bucks...but hey it's your $$.
I too have been around the block a couple of times and have come to understand one thing to be true more times than not...

Absolutely.

$295.00 for Shocks, Struts & Lowering Springs....that's basically a little more than what you can expect to pay for a good set of lowering springs alone.

Good luck, I hope all goes well if you choose to go that route.

So if we deduct an $82 set of springs from your $295 kit, that leaves $213 for all four dampers. Unless they're take-offs, there's no way you're getting anything either decent or valved appropriately for what you hope are slightly stiffer than OE springs.

You shouldn't care anywhere near as much about the appearance right after you do the install as on how well everything is holding up a year or two down the road. For your sake, I hope this does not become a $295 object lesson in how not to buy car parts.
