i want to get the tein s tech lowerin springs when i get them should i update my shocks and get new strusts also or leave the stocks one in?

 

depending on the age of the car, might as well upgrade them if you have the money. If you are not installing them yourselves, might save you a few bucks to have all the labor done at once.

If this is a new car (< 2 years old) the stock struts should be fine for a while unless you thrash them on the track or road racing alot. They more than likely will stress the stock struts and you'll be replacing them down the line depending on your driving style.

My buddy has been on the TEIN lowering springs with stock struts for 3 years now and he's just now feeling the struts kinda popping. He is a "spirited" street driver. Done a couple passes at the track on a line. Thats about all.

Hope that info helps a bit.

I would upgrade your shocks because your stock shocks aren't really made to adjust to aftermarket springs. Like the post above said about his friend's stocks, they will eventually start to go out on you (of course it also depends on how you drive too).

 

i got some shocks and springs for sale.. lmk

 

If you want to lower your car and get performance out of it too and have the money one of the best ways is a good set of coilovers. They are FAR more adjustable than just springs with adjustable dampning. The only thing is that if you get pillow ball mounts (which you should with coilovers) it will sacrifice a little bit of ride "cushion" makeing the cars response to the road greater. (better for road course) Remember, with springs you are stuck at the same ride height and shock settings unless you buy another set.
