Default Tein .S Lowering Springs?

Has anyone put Tein .S lowering springs on their Type R. I was hoping to lower my R and get Tein springs, but I am not sure of how they ride. Are they stiff like the stock R suspension and do they handle the same as the stock R when installed? I searched for a topic thats useful, but no luck. sorry if repost!

All help is appreciated!

look at the rates tein supplies and compare them with stock itr rates. honestly porbably would be that much different from stock. check out these instead http://www.kingmotorsports.com...at=41

Tein S. tech suck.

It has really soft rates for the drop they provide.

On s2000's they have a softer spring rate than stock.

swift, are probably the best springs out there from what I've heard, i dont have any personal experience with them though.

Its not much different from stock but there is a difference. I will lower the car but it wont be slammed ranging from and inch to an inch and a rear a little lower.Iam actually going to switch soon to something more agressive since the R in no longer a DD

ive got them and they are ok. they actually feel very similar to stock but are very soft when hitting a good bump in the road. I got them off my previous car so basically they were free. If I was going to buy some springs I would go a different route.

i have the tein s-tech lowering springs on my itr with stock shocks.

they are decent and provide the drop i wanted.

like others said, they aren't much stiffer than stock springs. but for a street car or mild track use they are good for the $.

i would recommend them.
