Here's pics comparing Tein S Techs vs Stock springs

[Pepperoni]

Not sure if something like this has been posted before, but I figured someone may be interested

Today, I was installing my new Tein S Tech springs and took pics with a webcam to compare the teins and the stock springs. Sooner or later, I'll get my hands on a digital camera and show before/after pics of my actual car, but here's just the springs for now:

so i see you got your springs from mista anime...Those pics look nice kinda profesional heh

Post some before and after pictures of them on the car!

hehe yeah he's a really cool guy. I got the springs from him many weeks ago, but barely had the time to install them yesterday. reason being that I have been doing a lot of body work/painting/detailing my car.

i have some before/after also. i'll post them if you want.

Yeah post them up, it'd help people get a better idea of how much of a drop they'd be getting! Thanks

[s0ldats]

before and after. you guess which is which

[importtuner]

How do the stechs ride? they handle well when you push to the limit? Im may get RSR or the teins.

[mellojoe]

what are the advertised drops on those? Like 1.5" right?

How bad is your camber now?

[s0ldats]

tein is great value. the rsr has better rates i hear, but way more expensive. my camber isn't that bad, definitely more than it was before. but it seems that the rear eccentric toe bolt is maxed out for me. that's what i'm worried about.

the ride could be better, but i'm on new oem struts so i'm guessing it will improve on some short strokes (tokico hts etc). i basically got these for free so it isn't a loss to me.

nice diff in height....what do you think of the ride and stiffness? I was thinking bout getting the S tech:)

[Pepperoni]

The ride is great! not too bad for a daily driver. For some reason mine lowered just a tad lower than s0ldats but it's somewhere around there in general. The ride height also depends what shocks you have. I'm pretty happy with em so far. Just got my car painted/detailed/lowered, so hopefully I can get a digital camera soon ahhh :)

Well....what shocks ARE you running :)

my ride height being higher might be due to brand new oem shocks? doubtful, but maybe.

stiffness is nonexistent and it's totally comfortable. i'd say if you were going to stay with a setup like this for an extended period of time to make sure you get short stroke shocks made for lowering springs. oem shocks will get bouncy and eventually blow quick.

They're equivilant to the KYB G2s... not enough $ for KYB AGXs yet heh

so basically OEM shocks.

i guess you're right! silly me :Ownedd:

[s0ldats]

hah, pepperoni, have you taken your car in for alignment yet? let me know what specs you come back with after the alignment.
