I had the stock ones. Only 17k on the car. Def a high quality part and would recommend to everyone. Plus not outrageous in price.

Installed the USRS on Friday, I should have done it sooner.

Very easy to install, and the results are excellent.

Installed mine last Friday as well, instant gratification. The only thing I run into was drivers side RR bushing washer wasn't laying flat on the bushing due to centre metal ring under pressed giving it a teeter toter effect, so when installed, didn't matter how much preloading screws were adjusted, my .020 gauge could be "easily" inserted. Had to adjust the inner metal ring with few careful taps so the washer was finally laying down on the red bushing. After that, preloading the screws and measuring the gap with a gauge was done as per instructions without issues.

Mine is '12, only have them for few days and one draw back is I didn't installed them sooner, love the felling, razor sharp steering and much more stable braking. Steering wheel feels like you have few extra psi in front wheels

So simple and so effective. It should have been stock.

I didn't because I'd recently had one done about a month before. I figured I'd wait to see how the car felt afterwards & monitor tire wear. It was close to a year including two track days till I had another alignment last month (after I installed my coilovers), and the front tires showed no signs of uneven wear. YMMV.

I might be the only person so far that went from lowering springs to stock springs and installing the USRS. The front end drives a lot better on stock springs then on Tien springs. i didn't have time to replace the rears, but will next week. only issue i have or others my have if installing on jack stands is, you'll need a shorter torque wrench because the longer wrenches won't allow enough room or leverage to torque down on the 22mm spindle nut. however, i had the bracket already installed(14mm bolts), so that may have been an issue. so, i still need to torque down the 22mm spindle nut to spec. also, the the 17mm bolt has a nut that isn't specified in the instructions. best way to get it off is it slowly loosen the 17mm bolt while holding the nut with your hand(no pun intended), same when you start to torque it down. i was pretty low, i haven't aligned the car yet, will wait two weeks. since i didn't torque the 22mm spindle nut to spec, i can't 100% give an honest review as may cause some play in the shaft(again no pun intended). i do know the stock springs handle bad roads a lot better than the Tien springs. i'll have further analysis monday when i drive to work..

as for using the feeler gauge, can someone post a close up of where exactly it needs to be inserted into(again no pun intended)? i have an idea, but i need to be 100% sure.
mindcrime, can you share some feedback regarding the tein springs? Was it so rough on street roads you switched back to shock?
