There, the topic heading should bring up adequate searches from here on out.

I have been searching for Tein S-tech springs on a DC2 pictures but have found nothing that is helping me envision what my ride height is going to be. However, I will keep this thread updated on my '94-up Integra's progress going from RSR springs to Tein S-tech springs.

My car rides too rough for me with the RSR's on it right now so I bought Tein-S's. I have a couple hundred pounds of stereo gear in the back, so I'm expecting drop in the rear. However, I want the ride quality to come back since my car isn't a track car and it is REALLY heavy (especially in the rear) for an Integra due to the stereo.

SO, I will be taking pictures of before and after my RSR's and Tein-S's for you all. I'll also post how the ride is after the installation of the newly purchased Tein's. Keep your eyes peeled to this post for pics because the install starts and ends tomorrow!

 

ok. are you using just lowering springs?

 

I didn't like these springs at all. Bought them maybe 4 or 5 years ago, I remember selling them asap. The spring rates are really bad. They are progressive from about 100 lbs/in to 440 in the front, and 80 to 380 in the rears. It felt like I was constantly on the stiff spring rate and I had no control over how soft or stiff the ride was.

If you are looking for a comfortable ride and you have hella stuff in the trunk, go with H&R Sport springs. Paired with koni shocks, the ride quality is nearly identical to stock. Plus the H&Rs make the car sit higher in the rear, so it would balance out the ballast in the trunk.

 

Well, I'll find out later on today. I'll keep the H&R's in mind if the S's aren't what I'm looking for.

And if it matters, the Tein S springs are being coupled with my KYB struts.

 

Man, the Tein S's with KYB's are FRIGIN SWEET! There's no doubt the RSR's "handled better" but they beat the **** of you during daily driving. The Tein's are spectacular in ride quality and they still handle great. The rear end doesn't sag either, which is a BIG plus in my book. Anyway, here are progress pics and how it looks right now:

 

Is your teg 98+ or did you do the front end conversion?

If so how much did you get your headlights and corners for?

 

wow wut drop is that i have the same tein springs hope it goes lower, looks stock hieght well people have diff taste but i like to see a car droped

 

I think that drop is close to perfect. I personally don't like "slammed" cars, due to lack of comfort. Sure they look sweet slammed, but for me comfort is an issue. Seems a nice decent drop to me.

 

Thanks guys. The RSR's were WAY too low for me. The Tein S's are PERFECT! Great ride height and phenomenal ride quality IMO...especially compared to the pogo-stick RSR's.

The front end conversion (also the back) was done when I bought the car. I will soon be purchaing the black halo lights...not for the conversion but because I like them.
