Tein S Tech Question

Some friends and I installed some Tein S Techs on my EVO yesterday and I am noticing the car pulling to the right (not crazy bad but enough to mess up some tires after some time) I am wondering if this is normal or if I should go get an alignment. Thanks

Jeremiah

ALWAYS get an alignment after spring/coilover install...plus, with the heavy drop of the S-Techs...now your car will hug each and every bump or even slight curve in the road...so some of it might be the pavement. but go take an on-ramp at a "spirited" speed...you will jizz yourself enjoy!

I HAD them, they look awesome, but they will trash your struts, as they did mine, the suspension/steering Geometry isnt kosher with the tein S-techs, and be prepared to fix other parts. my tire were trash as I DID NOT align the car, after the install. My fault!

Yea, the S-Techs take some deffinite getting used to, but I am AOK with them... for the past 20k miles..struts are doin fine for me... and i drive bumpy highways 60 miles a day But yes, it all depends on your driving conditions and ish.

I also got the Tein S springs...and was wondering what size tires and offset will fit without rubbing? (going with 18 in rims).

do these feel stiffer than stock or softer?

I heard the teins kinda take away from the tight feeling of the evo suspension

they are stiffer than stock but i like the ride. i dont think they exagerate the bumps in the road as much as people say. i think the most annoying thing about them is trying to get out of drive ways lol
