finnaly lowered! tein s-techs!

i finnaly got around to getting that crazy stance off my evo! just wanted to share some pics, mostly for evo owners looking at springs to see ride heights.. and some other cool pics my friend took (played with edit mode in iPhoto )






dont ask what camera for that last pic.. its my friends super nice one.. haha

im not sure why its so pixley.. kinda crappy pics

its a DD not a track car.. looks are more important than purpose at the moment

Kills struts and handling.

lol im aware.. they where a temporary solution to the ugly stance.. within a year ill be buying actual coils. i posted in the show and shine section to show it off, not get told what i already know.. like the first post says.. its a DD not a track car. it still handles better than any other car ive driven.

Ive been rolling S-Techs for about a year.. struts just barely started going out. I was sick of the wheel gap too.. Had to do something ASAP. Time for coil overs now

I thought they handled well until the struts went out..

I've been on S-techs for 3 years now and my stock struts are in great shape. It definitely does look 100% better than stock!

installing S- Techs is like clubbing baby seals.

I think he meant in the "clubbing baby seals" = "killing kittens" type of way, rather than degree of difficulty

I had S-techs since I bought the car. I thought they were fine, until I started reading all the terrible things. I never understtod, until I decided to trust everyboyd. I switched over the Swift Sports and I've NEVER looked back The stance on the S-techs looks good. A little on the low side, but still look nice. If that's all you care about, them

yeah i am its for show purposes.

with the clubbing baby seals thing, i guess it can be interpreted either way.. clubbing a baby seal would be kinda easy..
