is it safe to lower ur car wit just springs? Tein said their springs are compatible with oem shocks. my homie said its not safe cuz the oem shocks will break. im low on budget so yea

dont tell me to search because i already did

 

well ill tell u my experience, i bought the tein s-tech springs and i put them on stock struts on a 97 teg LS...drove the car for a year and like 27k (yea i drive a lot)....the car handled like a dream and was low...didnt had any problems (just mad camber wear)....other than that everything kool.. sold the car like 3 months ago and the suspention was still good...i have tokikos with skunk2 coilovers right now on my lude and i dont like it...its too low and the suspention is really jumpy...im thinking in going stock struts and tein springs....but the bad thing about the tein in ludes is that the drop is just like 1.3 thats not that much...im thinking on going with neusspeed they have a 1.8 drop if im correct....soo go for it man

I have a 97SH with these springs and stock shocks and I love them. I must've put on 50K miles on them and they still ride the same when I first bought them.

So go for it! The drop is 1.5F and 1.3R for the 5th gens

 

thx guys! any more input?

just to be on the safe side cuz the guy seemed pretty sure.

 

I'm running s-tech on oem shocks on my 94, I don't have a problem still rides good after about 6 months.

 

hey phaiwezzie can u put some pictures of ur prelude? i wanna see how tein springs look...im still deciding if im gonna go with tein and stock struts..

 

THEY are made to work on OEM shocks ... supposedly. my freind has it on his s2k and so far no problem. i would trust it.

 

ohh btw.. they dont drop that low on ludes. but bang for the buck if you aint getting any shocks.. my current setup.. eibach sportlines + tockico illumina adjustables. &lt;-- now these handle !!

 

2 finder gap in the back 1 finger in the front

 

^ he sounds drunk...

LOL

 

tein s on oem struts and lovin it

 

Heres a bad quality shot of my ride height. Previous owner's setup consisting of OEM struts and I'm not sure of the brand name springs. I'll be honest, it isn't a bad ride at all, very comfortable daily driver. Will be swapping out for some Tokicos soon. I wouldn't suggest lowering your car with OEM struts, but you should be fine with Tein S. Techs - doesn't provide that low of a drop.

Now, do you absolutely have to throw the springs on now to be cool and because you're cheap? No. Just save up for some Tokico blues or something... don't throw them on just because you're "low on budget." You're going to need an alignment afterwards anyways, so do it right.

phaiwezzie, you're wheels are on wrong.

 

i had tein s tech's on my 94 si vtec.... on oem shocks/struts...

Worked great, rode smooth...just like oem y0

 

thats a nice drop though

 

who sounds drunk ? i hope not me

 

How are my wheels on wrong?

They're directional. You have the left side wheels on the right.

 

SHIIIIIIIT

 

everytime i see ludes like yours i wish i went with the S TECHS... im currently on H TECHS with OEM Struts..decent fender gap drop..but i wish i was slammed.

 

i have those springs on my 93 vtec with some kyb agx gas shocks and it rides great, the website i bought them from(www.robearracing.com) said that it was a 1.1F and 1.2R drop

 

your wheels are on backwards. lol
