    Tien s tech replacement springs

    I AM CONTEMPLATING REPLACING MY STOCK SPRINGS AND STRUTS WITH TIEN S TECH SPRINGS (FRONT 280 LBS. - DOWN 1.38" & REAR 510 LBS. - DOWN 1.26") AND A SET OF TOKICO D-SPECS.

    HAS ANYONE INSTALLED TIEN S TECHS? IF SO, WOULD YOU MIND SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THEM. ALSO, PLEASE LIST THE STRUTS YOU HAD MOUNTED WITH THE SPRINGS.

    I WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNING TO INSTALL PROGRESS SPORT SPRINGS, BUT AFTER READING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS ONE CAN ENCOUNTER WITH THE EP3'S McPHERSON STRUT FRONT SUSPENSION (IF IT IS LOWERED TOO MUCH, i.e. IN EXCESS OF 1.0" TO 1.5"), I BECAME CONCERNED OF THE 1.8" FRONT AND 1.5" REAR DROPS ACHIEVED WITH THE INSTALLATION OF THE PROGRESS SPRING SET (280 LBS. FRONT/500 LBS. REAR).

    THANKS,
    S P Y D U R

    Honestly if you are concerned about you roll center messing up you should just get the prokit or Htechs which lowers about an inch, or not lower at all and get some better struts.

    ive got the s-tech springs and i like them alot. perfect drop for a daily drivin car in Pennsylvania. ride seem close to stock and not too harsh. handling is just a bit better than stock but ive still got the stock dampers for now. looking in to the new tokico STrT's. or blues.
