in miami id get stechs but make sure u get them done correctly and a good alignment afterwards....if your alignment is good now and the springs are installed correctly then theres no need for one.

Really? My alignment was fine beforehand, but my toe got all out of whack after the spring installation. I'm confident that they were put on correctly. I guess testing the life of your tires is an alternative to a $75 procedure if that so suits.

well the springs were off by a little on mine and caused my axles bushings motor mounts and tires to go. cost a lot in repairs and the tires i had that were gone in a month were pirelli pzeros. it was the spring install and alignment. so then i learned my lesson

the Htechs and Stechs are both pretty bouncy....nothing really dramtic, but id say since miami's roads are better than NY's, Stechs would fly and the drop looks great....really aggressive.

id say comptech or eibach for that. htech is tight and has an inch but i dont know about bounce....stech more bounce but super tight when u take turns because of the lower center of gravity. stechs i would say for FL hands down.... but if u dont want bounce (which doesnt happen too often with only changing springs because replacement springs are progressive not linear) you have to go with a whole coilover setup to limit the bounce. regardless if u go aspec eibach tein comptech....the bounce increases.
