Lots of install pics, not much on the ride/performance of the springs. Can anyone offer up more information/experiences on these for our members? Thanks,
Brent

I didn't have any problems seating the springs. It took me an hour and a half to do the entire install.
Coach- The springs are stiff. Stiff enough, but not too stiff. Car doesn't lean but my back doesn't hurt when I get out of it. I used to have an SER with an ES master kit, Suspension Techiques sway bars, front and rear strut bars, and a lower control arm brace. My NX's suspension is stock except for the springs. Both had 40 series tires. I'd say my NX handles slightly better than the SER did.
Care to elaborate on the difficulties of "proper spring seating" ?
I think these springs are taller than the other drop springs on the market. I remember the Hyperco's did not require a compressor to install on the AGX, and these definitely did. Then when I tried to release them onto the perches it was difficult to get them to 'land' in their cradles.
On the plus side the dead coils ( I think these have one more than Hyperco II's) keep the perches in constant contact when fully extended. The GC's would lose contact, and create a vagueness I hated. Also there was a jarring when they reconnected that would compromise handling. My H&R would hop an jump the car when this happened. The Hyperco were sweet, but definitely not this stiff. these springs need harder driving that I don't like to do on the street especially with the alignment so far out.
Last night my new roomate took me for a ride in his 1990 325i convertible, and he is a very spirited driver. I took the SE-R out tonight for a proper ride on the same route and the springs acquited themselves well. I easily exceeded his speeds through the route even though I had never actuallly driven it myself.
I still need an aligment to dial it in, but overall the high spring rates are not noticeable . In fact I would not think the rates were nearly this high, but the car stays remarkably level when pushed. I really would like to find an auto-x to confirm things more soundly.

Taiden..i put up most of the money up front myself...so I will more then likely be sitting on these springs for a little bit untill some interest grows.
People are just a little weary of an "unestablished" company, so I will probably have a bunch of sets left from this GB for a while.
if all goes well and i purchase this egg i've been eyeing, i will end up taking a set...
Alright guys, I have one last rebate of $30 to offer to anyone who buys a set of these springs and writes me a review.
Due to circumstances beyond any of our control, someone else has had to pass up his, so I can offer it to someone else now.
Here's the scoop. These little blue jammies are definitely making me happy.
Sorry they aren't better, but my rooate hit y car and I've been occupied

No bites?????
C'mon now....
These springs are of higher quality then almost every other aftermarket spring out there, and they cost about the same as a set of Prokits for petes sake.
They give the car a much nicer ride then any other conventional(Eibach, Tein, ST, etc.) spring out there.
The only other springs that are comparable are the Hypercoils.
and I still have one more $30 rebate available for anyone who will review these. How can you beat that???!?!
A set of very nice springs for $195 plus shipping (for one lucky person)...and even if you aren't the one to get the rebate, even $225 is a very good price for what you are getting.
finally!!!
