help!! Tein lowering or stock susp.??
Hey guys. wondering if anyone could give me any imput on lowering springs. I drive a gg evo9 mr. Looking to get a set of S. Tech Teins lowering springs. Would my stock mr ix springs drive better and work better or are the tein's a little better? Looking for a temporary drop till maybe late next year to get full tein coilovers. I might take (literally) a couple nights of hard turning, other than that i will be doing some street drag racing. Might be at 400-450hp in a few months. one more question if i did lower on these springs would i have to roll my fenders? rolling on 18s, 255's/35zr18..
Thanks for the help. I know full set of coilovers would be much better. but would i be doing the wrong thing by installing these? thanx for any imput fellas

tien are garbage, get swift spec r or sport if you want the most drop and best handling; get gtworx if you want a little drop and best handling
stock > tien
also, full coilover wont be "better" than stock, especially not the bilsteins. under $1,500 coilovers are just "pick your color" and are only really there for getting the stance and lowered look you want. they aren't going to improve the handling in any drastic way

I used to have Tein S Techs on my car and they worked alright, they were good for increasing down force, they reduced roll during cornering but they also caused more under steer it seemed. I am back on stock rally suspension on my VIII and I do have to say that cornering is much more fun on this setup . I can kick out and swing the back end around when I want and I can also keep it planted to the ground when I need to really pull through a corner. The car is more nimble with the stock setup and I doubt after reading all this input that I will ever go back to the springs. Coilovers maybe way down the road and that will include some serious CA$H to get the right ones. IMO I like the Rally suspension better but that's my personal preference for my driving style, I don't go for cosmetics over performance.

As far as answering your question. The first response is right on the money. Seriously any company that installs the spring rates of their coilovers backwards from what it should be on an evo is a waste of money...cough Tein cough...
Seriously save your money, and don't be a retard and street race

Stance belongs in Show n shine. This is where people come to talk about improving function not form.

Sorry chief, but asking about Tein anything in the "Handling" section is gonna get you flamed. The demerits of those **** springs are well quantified and qualified yet everyday we get more posts asking about how amazing they are.
