I found this on ECS Tuning, has anyone installed this set up? I know that AC Schnitzer products are generally good but I haven’t seen anything on here concerning their suspension set ups.

Bad ass set up. Can be hand for a bit cheaper.

Im basically running the exact same thing... AC Schnitzer spring kit w/ Bilstein B8 dampers.

It has been said that AC Schnitzer dampers are just re-branded B8... who knows but I can guarantee you will not hate the full ACS kit.

My ride is perfectly stanced (in my opinion)... and the ride on smooth surfaces is phenomenal. The ride on shitty urban roads can be a hair stiff and jarring to be honest. I dont think you can have the best of both worlds.

I say, go for it but contact AC Schnitzer directly for pricing. My spring kit was $345 delivered and by the time I added new front mounts, hardware and Bilstein B8 at all four corners I hit $1275 in parts total.

Fairly straightforward install so long as you have the proper tools. I was able to accomplish on jack stands in my garage in a weekends worth of time. Maybe one full day if you tried hard.

How low is the drop? I’m not looking for slammed, just lower than what I have now, M sport low is fine with me. Ride quality, or roads out here a decent I just don’t want that bounce you see on a Civic.

Drop with ACS is minimal... dare I say classy. I absolutely, positively did not want a slammed look either and did a shit load of research before deciding.

I have never had an issue and Im daily driveling my car... including weekends to Tahoe to ski in the snow, etc

Honestly, great set up. Not meant for terrible road surfaces... designed for smooth road/track.

Make an educated decision based on how you will use your car primarily. If I was a pure city dweller, I would definitely get a fresh set of Bilstein B4 ever 50k and keep stock springs. These would be more comfortable compared to my set up in this environment.

Thanks I will keep looking around the roads in AZ are not pristine, plus my frequent trips to SOCAL, yeah let me do some more research.
