Spring Tech

Has anyone heard of a set of lowering springs by spring tech. They are supposed to lower a gen 1.8. Just wondering if anyone knew if they were good or not cuz i found a set for a decent price.

From the Camry F.A.Q.:
SPRINGS:

H&R Sport
Pros:
- Brand name
- Moderate drop
- Excellent manufacturing quality
- Progressive-rate
- Lower drop in the front than in rear
Cons:
- Slightly harsher ride than Eibachs

Eibach Pro-Kit
Pros:
- Brand name
- Moderate drop
- Excellent ride quality
- Excellent manufacturing quality
- Progressive-rate
- Lower drop in rear than in front
Cons:
- Drop might not be even (front/rear)

Intrax
Pros:
- Moderately affordable
- Slightly more drop than H&R/Eibach
Cons:
- Not as well-known compare to H&R/Eibach
- Not heat treated from the factory so "sagging" occurs after time.
- Harsher ride quality than Eibach or H&R

Sprint
Pros:
- Lowest drop
- The cheapest - approx $99USD
Cons:
- High possiblity of sagging
- Not brand name
- Not heat treated from the factory so "sagging" occurs after time. aka. "The never-ending drop"

There are other brands of performance springs for Camrys however they are not as well-reviewed as the previously discussed brands. Here are some of them:
- Dropzone
- Whiteline
- B+G
- Apex

Why do you not want to buy from them?
- Cheap = Sprint
- Lowest drop = Sprint
- Brand name = H&R/Eibach
- New brands = Dropzone & Whiteline

I already knew about all those springs that was the whole point of asking if anyone knew about spring tech. The reason i was asking about them because they said they were heat treated with a guarantee that they would not sag..so that throws out sprint, then they have a lower drop than all the rest of the springs and i can get them at a cheaper price than the rest of them. So that would be my reason for not going with one of those. Just was wondering if anyone had heard anything about them good or bad.

I'm sorry, I misread spring and thought it said Sprint.


Also, I wasn't trying to be an asshole, just in case. I was trying to help you out.
