So I started about 9 this morning and finished at about 130. Not too bad considering it was all hand tools

Have you had a chance to really gauge the ride quality of the springs yet?

Not yet, as soon asd I got done I had to shower and go pick up my kids from a friends house they stayed the night at. I gotta take the spring compressor back to advanced auto when I get home, so I'll be able to judge what the ride is like on a combination of smooth and rough roads. I will post my findings on this thread

So I took the car for a short drive. The ride quality is about the same as oem, you can tell that it is stiffer obviously, but still very compliant for a 2" drop. It's definitely helped around the corners, stays pretty flat through the turns. Bumps can be a bit harsher, but that's what happens when you're lower and have a stiffer spring rate.

Thanks, I'm happy with it for sure. Dunno how I managed to do all that and not throw off my alignment...that is to say it doesn't pull one way or the other when the wheel is straight. I'll get the alignment done anyways to make sure everything is kosher as far as toe in/out is concerned, but it all feels normal. Living that low life!

Just wanna plug @HARDmotion real quick. That's who I purchased the springs from. Had an issue with the decals I ordered when I ordered the springs, but their customer service is on point. New decals on the way! They will definitely work with you if you have an issue. I highly recommend them.

What was the product number for the springs, some sources say that the '13 SI springs will fit a '14LX so I'm not too sure what to look for

Get springs for the non-si if that's what you have. Spring rates are different from the si to non-si
