i got them and i think they're pretty good. close to stock ride but gives a little better control. its not as stiff as eibach pro-kits but they're good for my daily drive right now.

yes, perfect for that budget.

i know couple of friends with them, one of my fat friend just got it for his ej hatch, i would say like a week or less, he's planning to sell it already.

I guess that how i think they are not the best spring in the market.

used eibach, neuspeed, h&r &gt;stech

they pretty much land on the same budget/price zone.


ot: anyone have experience with tanabe spring?

Theres a guy on the Accord V6 site that said his Tanabe Down Precedo's(sp?) sucked, so he switched to Vis Coils.

I would think yes.
The Eibach tend to be rough, probably cause they are cold rolled.
The H&R match nive with AGX

I just ordered a set with kyb gr2 shocks. I will let you know how the ride is once they are put in. Meanwhile, here is the response I got from Tein, regarding the Tein S-tech springs (very good customer service).

I emailed tein about the S-tech springs and this the info I got back:

We R&D and develop our lowering springs to be compatible with the OEM
shocks. We perform the R&D testing this way because that is the only
constant variable on all vehicles. There are a lot of other suspension
manufactures out there and it would be impossible for us to find out all the
different damping force that their shocks provide. Also, when we perform the
R&D testing, we measure the wheel travel and perform a corner balance on all
four corners to get the true weight of a stock vehicle. We then send the
data to Japan so they can make the prototype. When the prototype spring
arrives in the US, we install it on the vehicle to test proper fitment,
insure it has the right drop, and has the right spring rates. The vehicle
is then driven on multiple test drives to ensure proper ride comfort and
performance. When the R&D department feel's they have designed a lowering
spring with an aggressive drop and has some performance without sacrificing
the ride quality, they send the data back to Japan. Tein Japan will then
take this data and start mass producing the S.Tech spring. The reason why we
do the R&D testing this way is to insure the best balance in a lowering
spring. One piece of important information that most consumers forget is
the damping force of the shock. We produce the springs to match the shocks
to ensure proper spring control. TEIN takes a lot of pride and years of
experience in all of the products we manufacture. Also note that the S.Tech
spring is mainly designed for a better look and good balance. If you have
anymore questions please feel free to contact us. Thank you for your in
Tein High Performance Suspension.

Best regards,
Sales
