they are around 10-15 percent firmer so most people don't bother with aftermarket damper, maybe it just there's lack of good aftermarket damper.

eibach and swift are smililar, alot of guys had those for looks. Don't expect any handling gain on it.


oh btw, you gonna need alignment and installation on the spring, if you are getting coilover soon then there's no point doing spring now. The car sit perfectly as it, well, unless you are those typical honda-tech hardparker..um..i mean l33t jdm unit or something

 

would anybody have some pics of a s2k on the s techs with the 1" drop...........

 

Look for Spoon ITR's ap2 in the clean s2k thread

sorry the only pics I have are when it was on 17" Work Emotions.....dont know if that helps or not.....

 

If you're planning on getting coilovers, I would recommend just waiting. I know of someone with those tein springs and was not happy with the drop (obviously subjective though). He is now saving up for coilovers too lol.

 

kool thank you for the input

 

What if you aren't getting coilovers, but just want more of a drop..especially the front..

Mine's still in 4x4 mode..

 

No matter the car s-tech's will provide nice sporty handling and a pretty comfortable ride.

yup...s-techs -1.1 all the way around

 

It appears the S-Techs drop it a little more then the Espelir's?

 

i always thought it was the other way around honestly.

 

i just put the s-techs on my 04 today and loce them. drop is great and ride is slightly firmer than stock, but not at all bouncy/jarring. i recomend them x 50

 

Where are you guys getting them and how much??

 

stiffer than stock..great for DD..

 

i think i paid $140 for mine from invisions2k which then turned into iptuned

 

Most people are saying Tein over Esplir?

Pretty sure you are right, Esplir's go lower... So do the Nuspeeds I am selling
