For a few months Ive been unhappy with the S-Tech springs, the ride is way too bouncy on bad roads (which we have plenty of here in colo.) the front of my car is getting pretty scraped up too which sucks, potholes are pretty damn bad too. I've decided to go with the Cobb springs for less of a drop, but still some handling improvement over the stock springs.

Do you know the spring rates of the stock, S-Tech and Cobb springs?

i didn't realize you were unhappy with the s-techs, did you consider the h-techs when you were shopping around? just wondering.

When i ordered the stechs i really really liked the look of the drop, the bouncy ride didnt bother me too much at first, but after 5 months or so it gets kind of old constantly looking out for bumps in the road or potholes. I just need something more in between the stechs and stock springs.
