Are they already assembled for a drop in install?

I can't afford to have someone else install the set so they need to be ready to go.

Was kind of looking for a more comfortable ride, but no biggy.

The H techs give about an 1" drop. So all around, the springs drop 1.4" in the front and 1" in the rear. I heard that the s techs sag in the rear, so I can see why you went with h techs so the rear doesn't look lower then the front

Bump for a nice setup

so it gives 1 in lower then the a spec? doesnt the a spec lower it the car 1 inch in the back. so basically all you need is the fronts... please justify this.

I'm not 100% but I believe the a-spec shocks are the same height as stock, so the drop on this would be 1.4/1.0 f/r total.

If handling is altered, its only going to be better because its a lower center of gravity. Ride quality wouldn't be afffected too much because the drop isn't too much
