I have the Tein S.Tech springs for my car, and as far as I know, the springs are supposed to work with the stock setup. In fact, I emailed Tein to make sure, because I heard of that, and they said they're supposed to work fine.

hey i got the front/rear strut bars and lower tie as well and am planning on the sway bar and springs. if you get them let me know how the car feels. and yeah those springs will work fine cause they dont lower the car enough to bother the stock shocks

yeah but which springs? cause i also have seen many a shocks blown by springs. But to tell you the truth, most people that get the Teins last a long time. I havent heard of any yet that blew, although im sure at least one person has

I did some research before I bought the springs...I not only asked the company, but I asked other people who had them. I wanted to ask an actual person from the company so that I would have proof that they said they were supposed to work.

Regardless, the springs lowered stance on the struts will cause rapid ware and you will be blown in a couple months. With most springs you can expect to blow struts about every 6-8 months... Why is it you seem to see so many beat up hondas bouncing around like morons...

because they dont replace blown shocks from there cheap spring solution.

have fun
