Default TEIN S-Tech Lowering Springs

For the life of me I can not find any pictures of EG Coupes Lowered on STECHS.

I have these STECHS, that I believe were meant for a Civic, because my friend had them on his DC4 and it slammed the **** out of it.

I was wondering will it do the same for me? Because I would love that.

But from what I hear they don't lower enough.

Could someone please help me out with some pics, I tried searching.

Thanks!

i'm not sure if the civic coupe and integra weigh the same, but it's the same suspension so if it doesn't drop it the same it'll be very close.

damn i had em on my eg too but i just handed it off to a friend. It looks almost like the EK at the fender well. It lowers only 1.7" i believe. You won't scrape and it feels like stock. As far as sitting inside the car, it feels a bit lowered but not enough that you feel like you're driving a sled. It looks clean, but might not be enough for some people.

This is how my car is right now on some other springs, I keep forgetting the name.



I want it lower than that, as it looks high!

yeah, s-techs will give you something close to that + a tiny bit more. As far as Integras go, they're kinda low already in stock form so I can see how s-techs would make em look slammed.

not as much as other springs. I think anything above 2" will be better than the s-techs. They just drop enough so the fender/wheel well gap is reduced. The ground - body ratio is still insufficient IMO.

IMO I can't stand the way s.techs look.

H&R race is perfect for me. I never scrape, you just have to know how to drive a lowered car.

My digi cam needs batteries, but a search in the archives like "H&R race" will net you what you want to see.

"EM1 H&R" should get a few results.
