I found out that the car rides alittle better and handling improves a bit. but i don't think it was worth the time and expense of doing it unless you can install the springs your self. plus you must have an alignment done afterwards.

I'm going to install them by myself but does they offer the same ride height?? The better handling is good to know that.

It will be the same ride height. If that is what you are going then go for it!

If you want lower ride height, then I suggest the TSW springs. These are the best lowering springs I have ever used and they didn't drop the car too far to be streetable even in snowy and icy conditions.
