6 hours lol 2 hours the most for a competent mechanic..

If anyone needs anything installed suspension wise let me know. I did about 15+ installs on the 8thgen in Socal.

I love my tien S-techs. They actually feel like the factory springs in my opinion. This is her....

^Stock struts?

BLUDRAGON06

Yes the struts are my stock lx struts. And those are 17" HFP's. I love my set-up and I think I will go with stock struts again. I just think the eibachs make the back end too low. It makes it look squaty to me. And tiens are japan made if I'm not mistaken. Eibachs are german made I think. Anyways as long as the car is dropped I think you will be fine

and i like my sportlines, been on them for about a year and a half with stock struts and shocks... but the biggest upgrade anyone can do to change a cars characteristics is tires... don't go cheap and you won't be disappointed

i say the tien i drive an eg so i can feel the road more but i love the tien to me it gives the feel of the road with comfort a great balance eibach is good as well but i personally did not like the ride to me it gave a more bouncy ride then needed.
BUT ALL HONESTY IT IS YOUR RIDE AND YOUR PREFERENCE

If your in Socal, we have done well over 50 8thgens in the last couple years. We charge $100 for the install, takes 2 hours or less.

I'm in the same market for springs, I was checking out the H&R's and I heard swift just came out with new springs? If you have a spring compressor and lift any install over 2 hours is a damn scam. I did it myself in under an hour and half without a lift then again it's probably my 15th time doing springs :p.

The skunk2 camber kit is only for the rear i'm guessing? Just camber and not caster correct?

Anyone know the spring rates on the S tech compared to the Sportlines/vice versa?

i-VTEC_DOHC

s tech
front : 235 lbs/in
rear : 274 lbs/in

sportlines
front : 125-222 lbs/in
rear : 131-262 lbs/in

the reason the sportlines vary is because they are progressive springs, which means that at full length, it takes 125 lbs to move to compress the spring 1 inch. but if you want to compress it more, it takes more than 125 lbs to go that extra inch. which basically means that the more compressed the spring is, the stiffer the ride.

So u decided to go with the sportlines correct? Im on the market for some springs too. How is the ride of the sportlines compared to stock? Same, stiffer or bouncier? I want either same or stiffer, i dont like bouncy.

ace_drew

get Function an forms!!

i-VTEC_DOHC

yea i went with sportlines. i love them so far. the ride is very comfortable, it feels the same as stock, but it corners a lot better which is always a good thing.

i-VTEC_DOHC

how about not, those coilovers are garbage. im sorry to say.
give it a few months and it will bounce like a 64 impala.

XkjeldorX

Nice, i guess i know what to get now. I was kinda leaning towards these aswell i just hadn't really made up my mind. If you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for the springs?

i-VTEC_DOHC

i think anyone can get them around the 225 range, but i can get them cheaper than that. but i preferred the sportlines over the s tech because i rode in my friends si with them and they were kinda bouncy.

XkjeldorX

thats not bad, now i just need to save up some for the rear camber arms and i can buy both at once and install. Thanx for the help
