Are TEIN S-Tech's any good for stock EP3?
Ok I just found out that my stock springs in the front were cut and I was wondering if the S-techs are any good? I have 235-35-19
( I know HUGE) that came on the car and I think that they will be fine but could tell for sure (or close) if they will be fine.
Thanks
Stephen

Well...2 totally different car. But my friend had an STI with 19's on it...with S-techs, and all was good untill the Rr started to sag...And the fenders began to eat away at the tires... And *** sag can definately be a problem with Honda's.

I hate to say it but they look and are way too big for an ep. Even if they were 17s, I'd be nervous after a drop and alignment. (I rubbed and needed to roll my quarters when I had 225/45/17s)

and from that pic it doesn't look like the stock springs were cut

baller civic. if you want your ep to scoot, i heard 15-16's, if you like more showy 17s (not that you cant scoot with these) My tein's are good, perfect for daily driving im still on my stock rims and tires
RSX shocks won't work properly on the Ep3. Rear bottom shock eye will need to be ground down if you want them to fit and you'll need to buy RSX tierod ends for the front.
Other than that, main your problem are those 19" wheels.
