Got my Teins On ^_^ Pics.

They are just Tein S Tech springs, no coilovers..however..the ride is smooth..and the drop is just what I wanted. Putting them on was a B!tch..haha...ohhh man...but..it was worth it.







Next up! Painting my rims Gunmetal..and doing my Black housings. And i kinda want that lip spoiler that comes with the Hybrids..however dealer charges almost 500 dollars..sigh..i wonder if theres any OEM aftermarket ones..i also want Sidemarkers..but..the thought of drilling into my fenders creaps me out.

I have those springs too and KYB AGX shocks. Great springs and great shocks. Car rides like a cadallic on number 1 but it sticks to the ground well.

On number 4.. it handles like a go-kart but still rides relatively smooth. I would say smooth enough to even be a daily driver!

Hey i have then too. Ride quality is great, but do you find that the rear sits too low?? Mine seems to look 1/2 in lower. Thinking of switching them because of that. The sit perfect on a coupe though.

Yeah the fact that these springs are made for the coupe plays a factor in the back sitting a little bit lower than some would like. I'm planning on getting these springs for my car in the future myself. Looks good...

the perfect drop for someone that's not looking to slam and carries passengers in the back on a regular basis or has a system in the trunk with a heavy sub box then go with Neuspeed Sport 1.7" FRONT, 1.5" BACK. the springs are quite stiff and hold up pretty good. that's what i'm running on my car right now with tokico blues.

the back sits slightly higher than the front.(front is a one finger gap and the rear is about one and a half, almost two finger gap) this gives you just enough clearance you need in the back when carrying cargo or passengers.

I was thinking of switching to Neuspeeds, I have no heavy box or passengers and the rears sag a bit.

APRboy had the Neuspeed Sports in his Sedan a while back and they sagged like a **** in the back...

I'm running the Neuspeed Race on my Coupe and the drop is dead even front and back. I'm really happy with the look and handling but my ride quality went from good to complete crap . Every bump feels like a moutain and every pothole feels like a crater Oh well... fashion/fuction over comfort.
Oh also... I bottom the **** out of my bumper everywhere... I love it

Thats funny...
I am on H&R sports (1.5" drop) so its not too dramatic. My parents didn't notice for about week that my car was lowered.
