I'm just wondering if anyone has these springs on their car and how do you like them?  Please include specs such as ride height, quality, etc.  Thanks!

<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> It seems that no on has these springs.  I did a Buy it Now on Ebay last night and I guess I'll have to find out myself if these springs suck or if they are any good.  I will mate them with KYB AGXs as soon as Doug from iceperformance.com returns my e-mail.  Will keep you guys posted!

Very good springs, best spring for the price IMO. You can get specs off tein.com.

Thanks West!  I was going to go with the Prokits, but I decided that I'll go into uncharted territory and try something new.  For $160 shipped, that isn't bad either! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Ya, I saw them for the s13 last night on ebay and someone had already got them with the Buy It Now thing. Wish I had got em, but make sure the seller is legit cuz he had a few negative feedbacks IIRC, but also a bunch of positives.

I bought these springs in July and I like them. I was going to get the prokit, but they were on back ordered. So when I found the Tein springs for 129.99 I was like "SWEET!" So I bought them and I really like them. Bouncey, but not too bad and yeah they have different springs rates. I got the stiff springs, but they are very nice.

Where did you find them if you dont mind me asking? I searched around and found no sites that sell them. Also what spring rate did you set end up? IIRC its 220/170lbs or something close to that, Id like something a littel stiffer and if they make something like that then im going to have to order some to hold me over until I get my coils.

West, I just bought mine from Robbie at www.area51fab.com.  Their website is in progress right now so all you'll find is their phone number and some pics.  I actually won mine on Ebay.  These may be the same guys you spoke about earlier with the S13 Tein S-Tech springs on Ebay.  Robbie is very friendly and his shop's number is
(949)472-6320.  I might even help them with a group buy so I'll keep you guys posted.

Id be intrested in the group buy for my S13, if you want to pass the word, Im sure that a lot of people would be intrested if they're infact stiffer than the pro kits  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

That group is a good deal. It was 129.99 for mine, but i had to pay for tax and shipping too because they were in or near San Digeo, California. This is the site I got my tein springs from:

These are the stiffest springs of the 3 that tein makes.
