Default tein s. techs for ep3

Does anyone have these on their hatch? I was wondering about the ride quality. Any info on this would be helpful?

Worst springs I've ever had. I would rather be riding with stock springs.

btw, tein doesn't offer an application specifically for the EP3, the ones they have are for the coupe. I found that out the hard way.

Go with Progress or H&R, something like that.

They are a little bouncey but I wouldnt go as far as saying that they are the worst springs. I have them on the EP and DC5

They aren't even made for the EP3, which IMO should take them out of the list of choices altogether. Why buy something which isn't even made for the car in question? I made the mistake because I knew no better, so if I can save someone else from it, I'll try.

They are decent, even thorugh spring rates are off.

Over 12000 miles on stock shocks..

The reason I was wondering is because I know for awhile they didnt offer them for the ep3, but now their site and others are listing them for the ep3. Thats what sparked the question.

Could be a new addition then. I would call and double check though.
