$79 Lotek Cobalt Springs on Ebay, funny thing seller couldn't tell me the spring rates and said they were for a base model. Oh well whats $80 and 2 hours of a Saturday. Banged them on quick and was impressed! They certainly are squished and are just about on the front bumps, but with 60k on my stock fe5's these ride better than B&G springs and have the same height, body roll is less but if im hard in a corner and hit a bump it gets a little squirrely.

Overall- Im impressed for $80 and have a coilover low drop. Gotta avoid potholes for sure!!!



Looks awesome! gotta watch those driveways, Tempting:)

Looks really good. When you say very different springs rates, what have you noticed while driving on these springs?

Lo Tek

I bought a set and installed... it definitely set it low like I wanted but the roads in my town did now permit me to keep them on. Every bump or hole I hit would jar the dash. I will sell these if anyone is interested.

has anyone noticed any binding of the front springs on the loteks or any major noises coming from the front? Like when turning the steering wheel left to right?
