A lot of people put lowering springs on, end up with a really bumpy/nasty ride, and infer that the springs are too stiff. And most of these people have it exactly backwards: the lowering springs are actually way too soft for the new ride height and they are actually banging the bumpstops.

 

I've had them on my car for a very long time now and have had no derogatory experiences with them.

 

they blow struts, go with swift springs dude

 

If you haven't heard about them ruining your struts, then you haven't been on here too long, lol. Those springs lower them so much (from being way too soft) that the front struts are completely compressed (sitting on the bump stops) at all times, well, until the car hits a bump, then it rebounds and comes slamming back down on the bumpstop. They are cheap for a reason.

PM Smike, he's an Moderator on here, and tests suspension setups and tires for a living. He'll vouch for it.

 

nah...should save them and go for coilover

 

I was looking at getting hotchkis y do u say this about them?

 

I havent really seen too man run these...

 

gtworx + bilstein hd =]

 

Yeah, I avoided them. I was reading a Thread about these springs. Started off with good reviews, then people chimed in and drug these springs into the ground... Went with the Tanabe GF210

 

Well at the end of the day you only paid 100 for them. You should be able to make your money back off them if you decided its not worth chancing blowing your struts.

 

They suck.

 

They arent bad. Just put them on. I have mine for sale. I picked up coilovers after having my tien springs on for 3 years.

 

Yup, I got my Evo used and the previous owner had the Tein S-Tech's on and completely blown struts. I didn't really care because I was already intending to put on KW Variant 3 coilovers, but if you want to keep your stock struts I don't recommend the Teins. In addition to beating the crap out of the struts they overly lower the front imo, which adversely affects handling and looks somewhat odd.

 

BLOWN STRUTS! If your stock. You need the full setup to be good and they are not comfortable.

 

They blew my struts! But I have an MR with the Bilstiens. I havent heard of them blowing non MR struts. Nut I agree with Blackenedwings as it is TO low of a drop and rides like crap. The previous owner of my MR had them on it it had 3 blown struts. I they them springs away and got some BC Coilovers and LOVE THEM!
