Hey I was wondering what ya'll thought about the Tein H and Tein S springs?? What are the positives and the negatives? Thanks guys for the help. Also how much was your car lowered because I have been getting very different answers from people and also websites.

OK i have the TEIN-H and they are great, and look great.......I care mor e for looks, sinec I adont really take my baby to the track, so the MOD was cheap and made the car look great. I got the H, becuase the S was to low for me and my daily driven Evo, plus I have 18' Volk rims, so I wanted to have nothing with Rubbing, or scrapping .....and I want a front lip and or front bumper and the S would have been to low provinding no adjustbality. The H were great and made the car pretty low already, and with a Lip I probably will still scrape...I will post lics later, but I hope this helped.

 

and I have extra H-tech still in box for sale!

Plz pm, will let it go cheap!

 

I am also going to be in the market for springs some time in the near future.... I was interested in the S Tech's The H's don't seem to drop it much and are a bit softer.... I'm going to go with the S's

 

S Tech all the way. More drop and least expensive among other springs.

 

How much lower are the S techs and H techs compared to stock. What about the ride quality and handling wise when getting these springs?

 

2" front .9" rear. The rear of our cars is already lower. There is a thread on here with the spring rates of all the popular lowering springs you might want to look it up.

more weigth equals stiffer ride?

 

none of them. if you're going to get those junks you might as well keep it stock. stock setup handles much better.

Me too... Don't really know wich one to choose or go with coilover.
I have a gallia and waiting for my 18" Le28N, but I'm scared the S will drop to much the front.
