springs do not give you ride, all springs bounce, some more than others

you need to be looking into what shock you are going to run

I don't have Tein S-tech springs in my car but I hear that the spring rate for them are quite low so it should be a good ride. Best to get aftermarket shocks with it!

It says they drop my car like 2.4 in front.. and 1.5 in back.. anyone think that will look sharp on 17" wheels?

Are you sure they are Teins S-tech springs? Because Tein springs only drop 2.1 front and 1.7 in the back. And it will look good!

We have the S-Tech springs on our daily driven 94 Accord. They are great ride quality similiar to the Eibach Prokit. The drop rate is 1.5"-1.75" all the way around. Hope this helps you. Later, Andy

I am under the impression that TEIN's suggested drop rate is a little overestimated.. if its 1.75 all around, no thanks.. I need it at least 2"

Well it depends on what Tein S-tech springs your getting. There are JDM spec. which lowers only 1.75 all around. and the U.S. Spec. lower 2.1 front and 1.7 in the back!

I'd go with Koni Sports (yellows) if your going that low...
KYB's warranty only covers up to a 1.5" drop, the Koni's have lifetime warranty and can be rebuilt/revalved for later use.

Try http://tornactive.com/ for some good deals.

Neuspeed springs have a tendency to be a little bouncy from personal experience. Our inhouse vehicles that have used neuspeed have switched over to tein or eibach for ride quality; however, on the other hand, ride quality is all personal preference and one persons perception of a bouncy ride may differ from the next person. Hope this helps a bit, Later Andy
