Default Koni struts + Tein springs

Has anybody used this combination? I'm replacing my garbage skunk2 coil overs with this set up. Hoping for a "smoother" ride, just wondering if anybody has any insight on this set up before I buy the Koni struts. Got the springs brand new for 150$.

I am going to guess those are the s techs.

Those springs are offley soft for the amount they lower the car. The sports will work.

I remember ready some posts from people that had S techs on the sports and didn't like them. Why they didn't like I don't remember but it's worth checking out.

Can't be as bad as these **** coil overs, just wanted to see if these struts will do the job supporting.

You should really have gone all the way and gotten koni/ground control.

Any tein off the shelf spring is going to be too soft for the damping and ride height capability of the adjustable perch on the koni.

I would sell the tein springs and order some koni-specific ground controls with rates suitable for your needs and ride height.

if you want to keep the springs you can look at Koni STR-T. They are said to be the sport locked on soft. Plus they cost less, and still carry the life time warranty.
