I know I'll find the rest and more, but Its going to taking some thinking and math. and I'm too tired to think it out today.
BTW, you got a good deal on the Teins springs. Since I've seen them for much more $$$$ before I bought my "D2 Racing" brand suspension. But I was going cheap not by brand reputation.
Geez, I just checked the price on "D2 racing" and its up $212 more than I paid.

I had been looking at the h-tech springs but they were about $20 more and basically a 1 inch drop where most s-techs are roughly 1.5. I was against coilovers because there are no daily driver reviews, everyone is riding them slammed to tuck low offset wheels.
I was going to buy then from a racing or aftermarket website but by chance I googled them and the Google result showed $138.95 on autoanything.Com the link went to the $150 price but I messaged a site rep and they gave me the price plus a dollar off.
My car has never really been about hypermiling and I doubt I'll see any mileage increase with my city commute.
Also handling is low on my list of priorities it's not like my 115hp economy car is going to do any spirited driving. So no rear sway bar; to be honest I really like that it doesn't have one. The car takes pot holes like a champ
My camaro is lowered on eibach pro kit springs and the car rides terrible. Granted the eibach are ten years old now, and have 80 k miles on them
