Rexmobbin Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 am i wrong, or weren't the Tein springs more about cosmetics than performance? at least for the WRX weren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illt3ck Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 How do the teins compare to the sti pinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Monkey Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 am i wrong' date=' or weren't the Tein springs more about cosmetics than performance? at least for the WRX weren't they?[/quote'] Well, the newer Teins (04 WRX) were done much better than the older 02-03 springs. As for pinks...the htechs seem to be pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 So the H-techs have a drop less than 1" ? hmmm -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Monkey Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 So the H-techs have a drop less than 1" ? hmmm Yes, seems like what you wanted. They're supposed to drop about .9" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 .9" on JDM or USDM suspension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Monkey Posted April 4, 2005 Author Share Posted April 4, 2005 .9" on JDM or USDM suspension? -15mm so probably .9"-1" similar to the pinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Pinks were made for JDM suspension - they lower the USDM more than the stated amount. This has been covered extensively. Just wondering how the Tein's shape up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering how the Tein's shape up. Yes I know that, thanks. Hence the comparison of the pinks listed at -15mm being similar to the Teins listed at -15mm. You could probably expect the same stance from the H-techs on USDM springs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossodave Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I just installed the S-techs yesterday. I like them a lot. They lowered the car about an inch and the ride is still pretty good. These are dual rates so they have a nice soft feel on small bumps but it is obvious that the car is lowered when you go over a big bump:eek:. If you want I can post pics once the weather changes. Snowed over here today. These just make the car look so much better. No more fender gap. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossodave Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 What do you mean by the gold ones? The springs that I got from you and installed were actually green. Anyway whatever they were I like them. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC GT Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Awww crap, they sent the wrong ones. They were supposed to send the H.Techs. As long as you are happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drift Monkey Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 Read first post...that and "High Tech is made from a new material called "Vanadium" which is much lighter then other spring and increases flexibility." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC GT Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 This is a generalization of Tein springs (since you are the first in the U.S. I am aware of that has installed either the S or the H on a Legacy GT), but: The S.Techs have a more aggressive drop and are considered the "sportier" of the springs. The springs are green. The H.Techs (also referred to as "High.Tech") have a more modest drop and are considered the more "comfort" or "lux"-oriented of the springs. The springs are gold. Of course, the H.Techs are made of "vandium," whatever that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
