They are typical slammer springs. Expect a crappy ride, worse than stock handling, and atypically short strut life.

Same thing was said about my Tein springs but funny thing is they handle way better than my stock springs and ride smoother as well. Maybe everyone has different experiences, but that is mine.

Look I to RCE blacks or Epic Engineering springs. Doesn't slams your car but improves handling and drops it a decent amount.

That's your opinion, but not based on proven fact. S-Techs will NOT handle better than stock nor is the ride better than stock.\

Also keep in mind that the OP's struts don't take well to being lowered at all, much less what the springs he's asking about will do. +'09 WRX struts leak if you sneeze on them.
