XgT Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 i finally installed my tein stechs today. with the help of a friend and some very helpful air tools, we did it in about 2 hours, its really straigt forward. i was worried that the car was going to be too low, but i really like it with my 18's. it dropped it about 1.5" and it will probably settle a bit more, but it looks good, the front has a 1 finger gap, and the rear is like half a finger. the actual ride is pretty soft, and i am kind of dissapointed that its not a bit stiffer. so down the road i might pickup some shocks when some are avaible to help it stiffen up a bit more. smaller bumps are more noticable, when compared to stock, but still very smooth and forgiving. big ones that used to be harsh on stock suspension are even worse now, but i was expecting that. overall i am quite happy with these springs, pretty much what i was looking for. if you have any questions feel free to ask, and i will try to answer them.

The Tein S Tech springs are designed to work with the factory fitted Bilsteins in Japan and with these shocks they do work great. Nice and comfy under normal driving and stiff enough during more "spirited"driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XgT Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 i really think that after buying some aftermarket shocks, they will be really nice. not too harsh or soft. i am pretty sure that any progressive spring with spring rates close to these is going to feel pretty similar.

Nsaglibene Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I like my S-techs too, good choice if you are looking for a more performance base spring, rather than a comfy one.
