Finally!! The Tein S. tech review....
EDIT! after 3 months my rear passenger side still sits higher!
I dont know if its my shocks or my springs.....
What up y0!
THink outside the box 
So i finally switched out my og Skunkworks yes thats right i said skunkworks not Skunk2 and let me say this to all the skunk2 haters after 2 1/2 years of being dumped on crashed on and raced on they are still good and no saging or breaking at all
But i just wanted something not so bumpy and actually the Wifey didnt want something so bouncy so i decided to try out the tiens.
The drop goes from 1.9" in the front and 1.7" in the back and the ride is superb. Well at least a real def improvement over my og springs. They are paired up with my kyb agx's and so far they feel good and look good as well. At first i was a bit worried that i would be to high but theyve settled in quite nicely
Here are the after pics and comments questions welcomed.
My new tool has a new happy home 
Shes blinging y0!

Re: Finally!! The Tein S. tech review.... (SlippylesKB)
okay guys so far thanx for the compliments. The ride thus far is great for everyday driving, and those of you who are wondering were i purchased them from i got them from http://www.optauto.com for 143.00 plus shipping which if you want you can see here---->http://www.optauto.com/webstore/prod...k=yes&dept=237
As far as my brakes go they are still stock just w/crossed drilled rotors which will soon change as soon as i get my bonus for my fastbrakes kit
and honestly i dont know what the spring rates come with the springs all i know is that you can order soft or medium spring rates...

Yeah man you must of seen my other post on it but yeah its a good deal i suggest that anybody that doesnt want to spend the $$$ on air tools this is a good cheap buy. only 59.99 for it and 7 bux more for a full yr warranty!
