You bet! :D
So, how long have you had them on now? I understand it takes them a few hundred miles to "settle" and the car will drop a bit.
Also, even more importantly, how's it handle now?

I have had them on about 2 weeks they seem to have settled alot. It handles great after the alignment! Before the alignment it was not as driver friendly. I went pretty aggessive on the alignment. I think they are autocross specs because I got them off of here and from threads on alignments that autox were using. I know I might have to replace my tires sooner with that but I do not really get to drive it that much because of work and transporting the little one between work and home the wife will not learn how to drive stick so we use the Mazda 6.

Very good Combo! Love the 6 even though it is a 4cyl. but I never really drive that fast. People at work call me Grandpa because I would never really drive my past cars fast. I have had 2 C5's, WRX, Porsche 944 Turbo (S), countless Z-28's and Mustang GT's but I do not like to really dog my cars just cruise them. I think the fastest I have had the 8 up to so far is 85. I hate tickets and especially traffic school so knock on wood it has been about 10 years since my last ticket.

H-tech will only lower the front 1 inch and the rear like something like .4 or something like that. They used to have the specs on their webpage but they took them down. Now they could of changed it all up and are only going to change the spring rates as mdw33333 said but I am not sure. I remember when I was searching the H-tech would only lower the front 1 inch.

If I'm not mistaken, the H-tech springs are more "ride quality oriented." Tein terms these springs as their "Luxury Master" springs. They also term the S-tech springs as their "Dress-up Master" springs. I have to assume that the S-tech springs are for people who prioritize "appearance first, ride quality second."
