i also went to Tein's website, the spring rates look to be lower by a little than those for the EM2, but the have an EP3 label on them.

Where did you hear that?

Shocks wear down just like anything. Nothing lasts forever :D

well i searched around, the consensus was that the stock shock w/prokit were good up to about 1 yr ish, dont really have the money to replace shocks. if i really had my way id get the Mugen system, but my wallet prevents me from doing so.

the teins will have the same effects as any other spring that is not stock. you'll lose shock life going with them. it'll be cool for 6 months than get annoying bobbing and weaving through traffic.

it will be an even more slushy ride than the s techs...those spring rates are terrible. check the spring rate thread for our stock spring rate

are you sh*tting me? this is the EP-specific spring they were working on ... and it has softer spring rates than the S Techs? i'm disappointed in tein.
