All had alignment issues, 3 of them being my z31s, and one being my friend's STI. All were unalignable after installation. Z31 camber kits are basically unavailable, and the STI was going to cost 3x more then the cost of the springs.

I prefered the RSR* springs. Although Eibach is very good. (n/m)
