Im lookin to get some Tein S Tech lowering springs cuz theyre pretty nicely priced for a great stance and ride (from what i heard). Anyways, if i do get the lowering kit, what other things do i need to do? do i just replace stocks wit the springs and done deal? Any camber issues? I plan to get an alignment after i put the springs thats all. any feedback on the springs would be nice.

 

LOL, Hey man whats up? Remember me, im minutes from Merced. You will be fine with the springs, you dont need any camber plates etc..I have had mine on my car for about a year now and havent had any problems. I love the way they ride and I definitely like the way the car looks. I did get all 4 wheels aligned after the drop. I dont know if your gonna do it yourself or if you have a hookup, but it cost me $150 for the install and 4 wheel alignment. I definitely recommend them.

BTW were gonna hvae to meet up sometime now that you have your clutch fixed

 

Anyone else try these springs? These springs help handling at all?

 

There are a lot of people that have these springs. I felt like it improved the handling, but I dont auto-x, road race etc..I know taking the same turns that I do everyday it feels like it takes them a lot easier and you dont feel as much body roll, but thats just my personal opinion.

 

hey whats up man? i added u to my aim buddylist recently..yup clutch is in, holds great. Just "shoppin" for parts tonight...anywho ordered got em for 120 shipped. I was plannin on doing it myself, but am hearing its not as simple as it seems. False or no? i AM plannin a 4wheel alignment after the install tho, didnt plan on payin for spring installs tho. Any write up on how to do this anywear?

 

It is a easy install. If you have some godo tools and around 4 hours you can manage. I did springs the first time on the EVO and there were no significant challenges.

 

Well heres a pic of my car in case anyone is interested in what it looks like with the drop.

 

^ sharp car.

 

^ Thanks

 

how much for the rims?

 

I dont remember exactly how much I paid for rims alone. I thibnk they were like $600 or so and my tires were almost another $600. I have the Yokohama ES 100's. I get a lot of compliments on them, their not bad for some cheap rims. I was gonna get Volks, but having them on our S2000 already and knowing how that is, I didnt want to bother. By that I mean wondering if you bent a rim when you hit a pot hole, scratching them etc..I'd rather not have to worry

 

dude, they're tight.

where did you get em at?

 

great springs no problems for me and they've been on for 20k+ miles
