Suspension Techniques Proarms & Dropforks Available again

There have been a few people in the past posting up about the drop forks and the pro arms that Suspension techniques used to make. After much calling and whining to someone I know on the “inside” They have agreed to release what they still had in the warehouse.
According to my contact, there are currently NO plans to re release these parts after these pieces are sold. This is it.
Here is how they broke it down for me.
14 of the complete Kits part number 57300 (front drop forks rear / Rear Pro Arms) are in stock. This will lower the vehicle 1.5 inches all the way around. The rear arms also add Camber adjustment and has the mounting point for the sway bar end link. Original retail sales price was 479.00. These last pieces are selling direct for 300.00
30 sets of the drop forks are available, independent from the complete kits. Part number 57300(the correct # 57100). These will lower the front of the vehicle 1.5 inches. Orginal sales price was 183.41, and these last are selling directly for 100.00
Both the front drop forks and the rear pro arms do not effect damper travel. These items come with replacement performance urethane bushings installed. These items are non warranty, sold “as is”. The above part numbers fit 88-91 Honda Civics and 90-93 Integras. We have no R&D on the RT4WD wagon. These pieces are available only directly through ST by calling 559.875.0222.
Please don’t PM or reply to me or this post asking me about these parts. Call ST at the number above and they should be able to help you with any tech questions or to buy them. I know there are a couple of guys here who have them who may be able to answer some tech questions as well.
Post up pics if you buy them and use them. I’m on a couple of other Honda boards, but have only put this up here so far, giving the wagon guys first dibs.

They are down to 10 sets already.
Ive run them on two different RT's.
this looks like a very innovative its a shame they wont be selling them i thiink im gunna go for the gold. n swoop
I talked to them when I ordered. Theres a small chance that they will reconsider depending on how fast these parts go, but was told to not hold my breath.
Best not wait to long. People in the know will eat these up with a quickness. The dropforks are the mealticket if you cant get the set. Rear camber is adjustable numorous ways these days, but the dropforks are most definatly not available from any other source.
When I talked to ST they planned on selling the later version with the larger diameter hole for the 92+ Civics and 94+ Integras, but they had not confirmed what all they had in stock yet.
The Progress sway was originally on my DB1. The car is in a heap in the garage right now with the front on jackstands, so i really dont have a way to get any pix till the car is done, sorry man. It was a quick fix though. I just put some flatbracket on top and underneith the floorpan where the spare sits and bolted it through all three pieces. Definalty not the best install, but it did serve its purpose well.
Ive heard this a few times, but never from anyone they actually broke on. I take second hand info as rumors until I can confirm in one way or another. The story I heard involed an Eclipse, and I didnt think Eclipses had double wishbone, but I could definalty be wrong as Im not a DSM guy whatsoever.
Ive been using mine on numorous cars for around 10 years now. Every car has been autoxed and dailiy driven. If they arent breaking from the g's sustained from autox and the crappy roads around here, Id say they are tough enough for the masses.
I don't want to post the person's name who got me these, as you know who you are and I don't want people hounding you. For the member who went out of his way to hook me up your help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks for the heads-up thread on this .
I cant believe i missed this thread this long
can someone explain more about the front forks. will they allow the car to drop like the rear and have adjustablilty as well?
i recieved a call back after buisness hours when he finally had a chance to verify that they had them.
after mine George(the salesperson i dealt with) said there was 7 sets left on the shelf.
And im sure most of the front forks that they have seperate for sale are still there as they are surely in lower demand.
If interested just drop them a phone call. the salesperson i talked to was the only one working this week, he had to get back to me and sounded extremely busy because of it.
He was well informed and helpful to me and he visually verified stock before taking my money.
I made sure to plug the civic wagon while talking to him and also compliment their companies products which i have always had good experience with. Lets hope they reconsider making these again sometime, i did my part to make them sound awesome while buying them.
ogwagon makes some great points. stance can be everything to some people.
i would add that with lowering the full strut with the lower mounting point it makes airbagging a crx civic intergra much more frame layable. because you get that 1.5" from geometry rather than deflating your bags to 0 psi. not really a huge deal but for people going as low as possible its like an extra 1.5"
This isn't my pic but one I found.
1. so those forks are shorter downward by 1.5 inches and the rear is 1.5 inches too?
2. if i put these on it will be lowered slightly on stock suspension?
