And I must say that this was by far a great investment. I was planning to get the full coilover system. actually the flex one. But I decided that at this point I just wanted a lil lower stance with basiclly the same ride quality. With the Tein s tech springs the ride to me is better than factory and the handling of these things is really unbelievebale considering this is just the spring with the factory strut. I will have pics up asap.

Good tip... I was thinking about getting some of those myself.

 

what kinda drop did you get?

 

yea, i heard that the s tech springs from teins suppose 2 be real good.

 

Gave me about 1.50-1.75 in the back and about the same in the front. Since the factory type r suspension has a small drop to begin with, the drop that you get from the springs is great. Pics will be up soon, trying to get my digi to work.

 

just got them my self cant go wrong for the price imo

 

So do these springs make the ride more stiff or less stiff? And what do you mean by better ride? Have you taken these autocrossing or road racing? I want to know how these feel at the limit.

Also when at high speed did the car feel as planted as before?

 

I haven't not gone auto x or anything of that nature, but I know at high speeds they hold to the ground pretty damn well, taken turns, hard or soft, the spring hold up like a champ. when I say they ride better than factory, means in regular driving like around town whatever, there is no boucing back and fourth, or anytuing like that nice stiff, but comfortabel ride.

 

What are the rates?

 

i have the same springs in my room .....just been to lazy to install them .....



160 bucks (shipped) i cant complain ......

 

Not sure of the rates on the srpings, they might be on there site, but I'm not sure.

 

pics pics pics!!!

 

Trying to get the digi cam to work, hopefully tonight.

I'm not sure why people buy springs (critical piece of your overall suspension and car balance) without being knowledgeable about the rates. Did you buy them just for the lowering?

 

I wanted a spring that gave a nice lowered stance and at the same time rode close if not better to factory. I got what I wanted. I'm sure the rates can be found if researched.

 

Springrates for the S-Tech's are 335 / 274 or 6k / 4.9k for the more metrically inclined.

 

Thanks man

Note: the actual drop is not 2.6 inches ......from the searching i have done , the usual drop on the S Tech's have been around 1.5inches

 

I agree Lee, the Tein springs do ride better and handle much better than your factory springs. Plus the car looks really good too being a little lower.

 

Thanks Billy for the help. I'm happy with them

 

anytime

 

is the drop comparible to the spoon springs?

 

how bad is the camber after the springs settle?

 

they wont settle if they do more than 5 mm tein will send new ones

 

good to know
