Very happy with these springs. Ride seems very tight and smooth now. Although Tanabe quotes these springs lowering the car 1" all around, I noticed a lower drop. Maybe closer to 1.3-1.5", not necessarily a bad thing in my case. Ride quality is still bearable. I bounce a little over small bumps, but I do not bottom out. All in all, I recommend these springs to anyone searching for an affordable, linear, performance spring. Just a note, I also have tokico Illumina struts.

Just to be clear: these are progressive springs, not linear.
