Bilstein's With Tein S tech or ........

My friend is selling brand new bilstein's that he took off his 06 Mr for Tein Flex Coilovers. Should i buy his bilsteins for $400 and put some springs or just buy new coilovers?

Well if you care at all about handling dont buy the S-Techs unless all you care about is the "slammed look" Buy something that actually improves handling.

400 is a great price for the Bilsteins. Id snap em up in a heart beat. Go with Swift or Espelier springs. Nice drop and keeps the factory handling. S-Techs give you a raked look and you'll be scrapping over everything.

400 bucks is a steal.....but tein s-techs are poo. You'll blow out your nice new Bilsteins in no time, and handle like crap. Looks cool though.

Look into Swift springs, and our new GTWorx springs.

do it, you'll love them, and for $400 thats an absolute steal. like everyone else said, don't get tein s-techs. the only good springs designed for the mr bilsteins are the swifts, espelir, and the works springs if they have them in stock.

not sure about "gt worx" springs, i believe they're a new product.
not to be confused with "works".

alright thanks guys. i search last night and got some threads with the bilstein's and swifts. I dont really do auto x so i dont think i will need coilovers. I do go to the track and daily drive my car alot so i think this will be the best option.

Put your hands in the air and step away from the suspension...

If you want a lowrider, buy a civic.
