Great video man, one of the best vids when comparing coilovers vs lowering springs.
I bought a set of RCE yellows with intentions of eventually upgrading to coilovers, and while I still plan on upgrading soon, I absolutely love these springs. They are a noticeable bit stiffer, while also lowering the ride height a tad. You can feel that these aren't going to get bouncy after a year or so. While they are a little more expensive than other options and don't provide as much drop, they are absolutely the choice to make for springs.

I’m not an expert but I believe ride gets bouncy when struts go bad not springs. Ride gets harsh when springs go bad

Short and simple vid. Nicely done.
Great information that convinced me to look at going with KW H.A.S. springs for my S5 as I'm looking to do occasional autox, canyon runs, and/or track days.

Thanks for the feedback. After doing some more research I actually changed my mind, and decided to go with the Bilstein PSS10s on my S5. I’m saving up to get them sometime in the spring of 2024.
I went with the rce yellow springs on my 17 wrx and I love the way the car sits and handles. I daily my car so it was the perfect option for me

Have a 2015 WRX with 32K miles. I installed the RCE Yellow springs 4 years ago haven’t had any issues with the struts yet. They been holding well after 4 years.
I’ve lowered all my cars most luck using the Tein Flex A using the Electronic Dampening! Amazing setup! I have tried just lowering springs. That broke my shocks. I then used new shocks and lowering springs - shocks were adjustable- but for the quality and price point Tein has everyone beat.

hey guys! greetings from argentina. i ve got a mk4 jetta on eibach pro kit lowering springs, i think that the owner had the original struts modified when he install those springs but, the problem i ve been having is that when i load up de jetta for a road trip and fill up the trunk and throw a couple of my buddies in the back i get some rubb between the wheel arch and the wheel...so my question for you guys is: could it bee that the struts have been messed with in a way thar compromises de loading capability or is it only the fact of lowering the car wich makes the rubb to happen?? what should i do?? i ve been asking around but none of y local shops gave me a straight answer. thanks! and great video!

They're similar for what they're intended for, I loved the ability to change my heith and the adjustable bound/rebound to cruise like a cadi or stiff as a board.
