So basically lowering this car can almost always cause some sort of seperate issue?
The only issues I've had only came from either someone messing up or from changing out the front lower control arms while lowered. The latter only required very minor alteration.

Pretty much. Hks are the only adjustable springs that I know of. Iā€™m on swift springs. Iā€™ve had some very subtle clicking noises but thatā€™s from the wheel bearing on the strut mount not being aligned 100% perfect

I donā€™t want adjustable springs. I much rather like what I am used to before. Install and keep it moving.

For some reason I kept reading that people install the springs, drive around and then have to make adjustments? I am hoping thatā€™s only the HKS. I would hate to uninstall to then reinstall etc

Oh alright. I think thatā€™s just in the sense of installation. Iā€™ve had to re do mine several times now simply because the dust boot didnā€™t sit properly on the strut mount. But now Iā€™m dealing with the wheel bearings on the strut mount. They keep coming a little out of place so Iā€™m gonna clean them up and apply some grease. Hopefully that helps hold it together and solves the issue. Iā€™m my experience, just be careful when taking the original springs off. You donā€™t want to break the wheel bearing on the strut mount

Crap. Yea I guess thatā€™s what must of been reading. That sounds annoying wonā€™t lie. After installing, what signs would tell you the dust boot isnā€™t sitting properly on the strut mount?

Just feel around the entire strut and make sure it feels even all around. No lifting or little folds. Just do it slowly and if possible get someone else to jack the strut up while you align it in place

No issues with ride quality on 10mm spacers in front and 13mm in the rear. Never had rubber issue of any sort, nice and planted in corners, body roll was minimized along with the installation of front struts installed.
Does it feel stock or a bit stiffer?
