which would be a better buy? i can get da skunk2 for 160 and the tien for 100.

 

i got the skunk2s and i like, but i also her many pros wit the tiens.

 

thanx hahaha.. yeah i wanted to get sum tiens.. but yeah i got offered these coilovers so yeah.. i dunno wat is better

 

IMO both are pretty shitty.

Look into H&R, nuespeed (i think makes decent springs), and eibach (lifetime warrenty they sag= you get new springs).

Apples and oranges. They're not even close.

What are you looking to accomplish?

Agreed, Skunk2's are adjustable coil over springs, where the S.techs are pretty much a lowering spring. Also, if i remember correctly, the Skunk2's are a linear rate spring while the s.techs are progressive rates. If you are going to be autoxing then the skunk2's would be better as they will be consistent. While for just drivin around the street, the s.techs will offer a decent and tasteful drop in height, but wont offer any real performance gains.

Ive personally owned both, i ran some Skunk2 adj. coils with KYB AGX's and also had some TEIN S.techs with tokico illuminas. Like i said, the Teins and tokis were great for street, but nothing more. Btw, i loved my skunk2/kyb combo.

 

im probably gonna go for the tiens cuz im just looking for sum decent springs so my ride could look atleast a little better.. i hate that big *** gap but yeah... wat do u think bout kyb shocks? i was gonna but sum washers instead of getting a whole new camber kit so yeah...

 

The S-techs are a great street spring for "ADDED" performance. They do not compare to Skunk coilovers as the Skunks have higher spring rates. I have owned both in the past and I prefer S-techs for their drivability.

Koni yellows will make this a great suspension.
