Suspension Kit Suggestions

How effective is the suspension kit from TEIN sold by RRM? How much does it lower the front and rear, and would that interfere with tires of the 215/40 size? Thanks

Coilovers or springs? Springs drop about 1.5" front, 0-.5" in the rear. Coilovers are adjustable. And no, it would not interfere with the tires.

If you're talking about Tein COILOVERS come find me I'll show you the Super Street setup I have.

I used to have Tein S Tech springs and for Vancouver roads it wasn't that good. I knew it was going to be rough especially if you're running 40 profile, which is what I run. I pretty much felt 80%+ of the bumps on the road, it hurt but the S-Techs are oriented for SHOW. It looks aggressive with the front dropped around 1.2 inches and the back 0.2(if any at most).

Reba06 has my old S-Tech springs and he likes em, looks sweet and makes the car aggressive with the drop. Ask us over on Mitsunation since we're local and we can set up a meet to show you one day.

Also 215/40/17? Will work fine

Ive been riding coilovers for the past 6 or 7 years and im tired of the harsh ride i got with them. So which would be the best riding spring? Tein or Progress, seems there the 2 most popular for the ralliart. Not tryin to thread jack ^^

You would have to get the springs rates and compare. S-Techs were rough but I think both the Progress and Tein springs are about the same. It's going to be rough either way because you're compressing the spring and making them travel more absorbing more energy given off the road when you hit a bump
