I have a set of tein coilovers and the springs on them have been worked in a bit. They seem to b an inch to short now. Would I b able to buy tein lowering springs n put them on to lower my car further? Or if there is another way can some other way can u share that I formation?:D

 

not sure about tein but with skunk 2, it worked for me just swapping the springs. wanted a stiffer rate.

 

You didn't read the post. He wants to swap out the springs from the coilover kit with full blown drop springs. Won't work.

 

I was thinking that the lowering springs r wider then the spring on the coil overs

 

Wider? Now I'm confused. Re-reading your first post. What do you mean they seem to be an inch too short?

 

after a while of driving with the the weight from the car has compressed the springs. so if i try to adjust the ride hight i am not able to lower it all the way. and if i do the springs dont fit snug.

 

Are you saying that your spring of the TEIN SS Coilover is collapsing due to weight?

 

Swapping to full blown lowering springs will not work. They are way too tall.

 

Wouldn't they b shorter then stop springs bcuz they r made to lower the car..

 

No. I'll take a picture for you. They won't work.

 

Kk thanks. I'm going to have to hunt around to get just the springs from the coilovers

 

The tan springs on the left are full lowering springs (front and rear). I doubt you would be able to get these on the sleeve and strut. The red ones on the right are off a coilover kit. The dark red one is from a GC kit. Don't remember if it was front or rear. The lighter red one is off of an Ebay kit. Don't remember if it was front or rear.

 

you'd have to buy all new shocks too basically. coilovers only use like half of what normal springs do.

just go find some replacement tein SS coilover shocks. shouldn't be too hard.

 

I'm still having trouble envisioning how the springs are too short. Wouldn't that mean you're riding on the struts only if the springs aren't even touching the top hats?

 

thats the image im getting. or it sank too low for him. like the settled ride height.

did you buy these brand new?

 

If I slam my car I'm riding on struts. But i had it on the hoist and noticed they were to short so I had to rais the height back up. Still a nice drop but I want it slammed:p

 

Thanks all. Pictures helped a lot:D

 

lol no, They are taller then the Tein's. The teins are made as a full setup. They are not made to work with anything else.
