I feel like one person keeps making accounts and trolling the same "Tein Springs" new threads. Its getting ridiculous. This is like, what, the 8th thread on it this week?

Man I was thinking the same thing! You, Smike, and myself are pointing them straight lol.

I'm curious if an admin can see if all the OP's have friendships on their accounts. Seems like someone got butt hurt and now is asking his buddies to post the same thread...just a little conspiracy of mine lol.

Sorry to get off topic, but like Smike said, search function is your friend. Or scroll down a little and look at recent topics before posting up, it's been discussed... A lot....lately...

Different strokes, for different folks... The S techs are a rough ride for rough roads, but they are one of the best for a performance spring until you go to a coilover.
If you want to keep the ride, yes eibach pro kit.

Time to do some research on the suggestions of people who've actually races these cars cause this is terrible advice.

Ya sounds like you've got a lot of good input to make a sound decision?
This guy is asking for input, not people saying "no", "fail", "do some research", and he did not ask for a Racing spring, So MrJuls... What is the true usage of the car? Spirited performance street driving, On Track Road racing, Drag/street racing, or Daily driving?
Then maybe people can chime in that have experience in that style/venue. (I do Not have experience in Hard Parking or Drag/street racing)

umm ive got experience in these springs/ on both stock struts and on bilstein hd struts, on the stock struts i got 30k on them before any leakage or failure of my struts , replaced my upper mounts at same time as bilsteins went on have about 20k on them, and the ride isnt bad like people make it out to be, on some crappy paved roads its not the smoothest, but if u want a smooth ride go buy a bmw. All the bad talk on these are mostly hearsay without any experience of the naysayer driving with them. Id say buy them, if you do depending on age/mileage of vehicle buy new strut mounts to go with them, those are usually the first to go bad.
Good luck

My driving is daily,and weekend spirited driving.I might put the car on the occasional track for a few laps.But at the moment it's my daily drive.I agree if you want a smooth comfortable ride,buy a BMW and i'm totally ok with that.I'm probably going to go for the BC Coilovers because that's good value for money.

Thanks for the help,i'll research more on my own next time without asking.People have different opinions.
