I have the Tein SS and I love them. They are much more superior in handling over stock setup and they ride great. I live in L.A. and we have some rodes here that are not the best. I could not be happier going with the Teins.

I have never rode on or tried the B&G's but i would not want to give up my Teins either because I am so happy with them. I got them sitting on 19"s and my ride is good. I have them lowered to the top of the wheels with no gap and still have a good 8-9 threads left. So you are able to slam them if you want. The color of them seem kinda , but you can not even notice them once they are on. I have a black car with GM rims and you can not tell they are green unless I look closely. You wont go wrong with the Teins SS.

B&G's ride like ****...but thats dumped at 3.5".... Tein SS rode amazing, like stock but stiffer, but i was barely lowered 2.25 (FULL DROP).

Just depends what your going for. Jay- I have pics of 17s dropped all the way on Tein SS if you wanna see....

I still dont understand what the problem is with peopel syaing TeinSS dont go low at all.... you're making it sound that they have like an Eibach 1.5 inch drop at most....

Tein's site says that the front goes down 2.75 inches and the rear goes like 3.1 inches or something....... look at my rear tire on TeinSS, is it not low enough? Its tucking about an inch of rubber....



this is side view


I still have about 2 threads on the front about a couple threads in the rear left too..... if thats not a low drop then ya'll need to get bags.

Plus I can guarantee that if you rode in my car you would get the Teins cuz they ride so damn nice even with that much of a drop on 19s.

Nothign against BGs but I'm in love with my Teins

i installed my b+g bout a week ago.. still fine tuning them to get the ride height just right with no rubbing.. so far everything is cool.. the ride has changed alot.. it is much more responsive. slammed down the ride is bouncy but i picked up the back and it smoothed out a lot.. when you do adjust them, go ride around hit some bumpes and try to get it to adjust itself that way you know what you have to work with. i have a 1 1/2 finger gap all around. the lower you go the worse the ride will get. i would like to see how it feels at stock height.. maybe one day when im bored
