well, im about to get Tokico HP Shocks with Tein S-tech springs. Before I buy them, I would like to hear opinions / suggestions, and if I could get any better for the same avg price.

thank you

I already did bro... I saw every single post about the TEIN S-tech, and I read that one guy said they were very smooth, and another guy said they were stiff. I read every single post, and of course everyone disagreed, so I basically felt like asking it to see what you guys say about both items. If you personally felt "offended" by my stupid question, just dont answer... damn men, I thought that I could post and ask for opinions / suggestions...

 

You can man its just we get very tired of the same questions being asked over and over again. But in your case i can see why you would ask. I would recomend saving up a little more and going with the tein ss fullcoilovers. Thats what i have and i love them. I know you said you wanted to know about things in the same price range but i had to tell you about that. I think its the best you can buy for our car. And its not really that much for what you get.

 

I'll tell you what I love my tein springs. they give the car that low aggresive look and rides soooo smooth

 

mmm... yeah brjhnson, I would like to have coilovers, but as u said, the price dif is too much. Anyway, I will think about it though. Thank you. Does anybody else can give me some opinions and suggestions about the Tokico hp shocks and tein s-tech springs?

 

lols, peoples definition of smooth or stiff is different. it's all about preference, your choice doesn't look like a bad one in suspension setups.

 

^ I agree...its all about that....

 

We need a good FAQ on aftermarket springs. A lot of the aftermarket springs made for the 01-05 Civic suck IMO, either in drop or springrate (or both).

And most don't seem to work on sedans. Major sag in the rear.

Definitely... the major sag in the rear is inevitable.

thanks guys.

CG + Konis

are you wanting to lower, stiffen, both on your car ?

how much drop ?

how much stiffer ?

 

I am also wondering about Tokico Blue's, I would like to upgrade, but i dont have the $$ to get koni's.

 

i have tokico blues and im ordering tein S techs soon.

i like the blues and hopefully it wont ride that bad when i get the tein springs?

 

do they feel a lot better than stock strut?

 

Well... i already bought tokico blues + tein s-techs... I'll tell you about them next week when i install them.
