Tein S-Techs on stock struts now for years with no issues. Im at 70k and they have taken a beating. They are due for a changing... but the car handles just fine. Its a GREAT spring for the $$$.

to be fair, he actually has them on his car while im just against stock shocks for anything besides stock springs. his opinion carries more weight, so 2 for 1.

LOL i dunno about more weight, but i do agree that coilovers are better than springs and stock shocks. I got them just to get rid of the 4x4 look while i decided on what coilovers to get. I was so pleased with them i decided to leave them on till the OEM struts wore out THEN i would swap them out for coilovers. I guess i wanted my $$$'s worth out of the OEM struts at that point. Admittedly the Teins dont drop ya a lot... but for $200... its hard to beat the performance advantage over the OEM springs. I guess like anything with a car, its personal choice and what you are looking for in the end.

i have s tech on tokiko blues on both my cars and its good for your average drive. never tracked it or anything. I would think, why do it twice when you gotta replace your struts soon anyways.

i have tein s-tech's w/ stock shocks, i think for about 3-4k miles(year and a few months) at 57-58k miles on the org. shocks

did it just for the drop and its perfect, rides good. I want diff. stiffer shocks though

and i have to take it easy on speed bumps

I'm just trying to make my Ep look like a normal car... not a 4x4. In my opinion, by looking at other cars with S techs, thats how a normal car looks like without a drop.... and that is what i am pretty much aiming for. If only Our Si's weren't super elevated... then I wouldn't be doing this.

The reason I don't go lower because I don't like to scrape on everyone's driveway... I don't like to damage the under carriage.

do it, itll look good

Sure you can do it, but you just wont get all the benefits as you would if you pair them up with a set of good dampers.

Benefits are good on the circuit.... but since I'm not doing that... throwing away more cash for a DD is kind of pointless when all I am looking for is a little drop.

you should definitely change the shocks too!
