      are Tein s techs worht it?

      i really like tein and trust there produsts, im very tempted to buy the s tech springs.. however they arnt ep3 specific, i just was wondering why the spring rates are so much different then all the other springs? itst like half of the stock.? i dont know much about them, so is this good or bad.. anyone who has these, is the ride bouncier then stock? are the stiffer then stock? how does it ride? bcuz ithink its a perfect drop and they are cheep, so hopefully they are worth it. thnx

      I'll be honest...I hate these springs. They are entirely too soft for me. That's why I bought some progress springs...should be here soon thanks to chet.
      Anyway, these springs are so damn soft, I feel like I'm in a boat..the car rolls like a mother in the turns.
      I personnally wouldn't get them. just my .02

      i dunno...to me, its not worth it to go softer. and plus, they arent even made for the ep. my first choice would be sportlines but those are expensive, than progress, moderate drop nice ride (from what people say) than H&R, drop seems a little low in theory and a little stiffer than stock. but i got a good deal on h&r

      worth it, yes. would i do it again? answer is no, if..... i had more money to buy Tein Basic or Mugen suspension. i dont like the idea with stock shocks with tein springs, or koni with teins. go with something that is tuned.

      imo those are not worth 550. first of all, installation sucks. need modifications on front shocks. many people had problem with them.perch breaks bad results. ehh just not worth your time and money with bothering koni yellow.


      02SilverSiHB's shocks btw

      These springs are soft alittle too soft I might add because it isn't made for the EP. But the ride is smooth. Bouncy over speed bumps. Driving is really enjoyable with these springs just wish they were alittle stiffer. I dont regret getting them. But if I were you I would get something that is made for the EP Like Progress

      yea...thats because they arent REALLY made for the ep. what would be wrong with a shock spring setup vs a tuned setup?

      why would you want to buy koni yellow with springs or sleeved coilovers compare to fullcoilover set up.i just dont think its worth buying koni with all the hassle and results of product. koni yellow can be tuned well but why not get fullcoilovers since they are designed to work together. tein basic cost only around 900, installation is easier than koni.and 02SilverSiHB didnt use adaptor that he supposed to use with sleeved coilvoers(gc and skunk2), thats probably why he messed up his but ive read several reviews on koni yellow. bad reviews here and there. nothing wrong with shocks and spring setup though. its your choice.
      check out DIY for koni yellow.

      way too much work. installed on my friends car. ehh took while
      my car is lowered with tein s tech springs for now. i hope i can save up for fullcoilovers eventually. i had tein ss on my last car(em2,2002 ex). i shouldve kept it:(
