Hey tuners
I just wanted to find out if anybody used the M2 springs and what they thought of them.
I am considering lowering the car and it is between the M2 and the Tein S techs...difference in price is M2 about $50 US cheaper...seeing like the teins are popular but wanted to know about the M2.
Using stock shocks (kyb in front and will most like change the back to kyb as well) with the springs and putting on 17's with 205/45's...
Any experience with a similar set up?...
Thanks

I have the Tein H Tech installed.
Drop was 1.5" front and rear. After 5 years installed, drop is closer to 2" now.

Never used the M2 but I did try the Tein S-Tech and the H-Tech on my Altis.The S-Tech was a bit too low as I had 18x8 rims on 225/40-18F and 225/45-18R and there was no way it would drive. The H-Tech was better but with the same wheel combo I did bring out the four wheel wells approx 1/4". The pics below show the front fenders completed but the rear fenders weren't finished then. It did look original once I had done the rear.
I used them for about two years without any problem, just make sure if you intend to drive through rough road as hard as I did, use very stiff buffer rubbers on the shock shafts.
