el scorcho Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I used to have an integra and I swapped out the springs with the integra type-r's, which gave a slightly firmer drive with also a slight drop 1" or less. I was hoping for something similar for my 06 LGT and the few that I've seen in my research shows the the tein h-techs are along those lines. I thought about the STI pinks, but the reviews say they were too harsh for some people and the drop seemed more than I wanted. keep in mind that I'd prefer not going over bumps/dips at an angle. so...my priorities are: 1. better performance/handling than stock (nose dives for the loss) 2. ride quality (ladies love the smooth ride ) 3. cost! I'd prefer not to spend $300+ for springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Th3Franz Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 His first priority was better performance than stock, not a 1.4" drop. Swifts or pinks FTW! -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el scorcho Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 how much of a drop are the swifts? how's the ride quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckzul Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Iwouldn't put Tein's on my riding mower....but hey that's just me. Pinks or Swifts FTW Please elaborate. Making such a bold (yet seemingly factless) statement, requires some reasoning. I've got, as a lot of other members, on this list do, some flavor of Tein's (either S-tech or H-tech), and I've been very happy with them. I have a great deal of respect for much of what you've said on this list, but this needs some clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Because back in 2000 when I had my 2.5RS everybody was raving about how great the Tein springs were so I bought a set matched with KYB-AGX struts. Sure they looked good, nice low stance, but they rode horribly and made the car's handling worse...within a year the springs were sagging. I was not the only RS owner that made the same complaint...and I continue to hear the same complaints from owners of newer model WRX's and Legacy's that have installed them. On the RS I upgraded to a better "name brand" spring and never had any more issues in the 5 years I owned the car. So I wasted the money I initially spent on the Teins, when I should have just bought a better quality spring to begin with. IMHO I would rather spend a little extra now and have a spring that is going to last and perform for awhile, that's why I recomended the Pinks or Swifts....

silverfool Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 anyone else waiting for eibachs? i'm beginning to feel like the only one. i really trust the company but jeez they are taking their sweet time in R&D. Last word from them was "could be as late as winter..."- how long has this model been out? and yet every vendor teases on their site with a part number.
