Tein S-Tech lowering...
Tein S-Tech lowering...
Hi Bros.. I do understand that Tein S-Tech gives a 1.5' drop on both the front and the rear... My friend's S-Tech gives a larger wheel gap for the front (by default the front is larger ya?) but looks cool
for the rear.... hw can I achieve the same wheel gap for both the front n rear when I install mine??
Comments n suggestions??? Thanks alot for the information...

I saw some pics frm here with these springs n the wheel gap looks equal... Thanks alot for ur info bro...
There has been alot of arguments about these springs and i dont know if we have reached a conclusion as of yet. Being that you are lowering with springs how they sit is how it has to be. I have the s techs as welli and my wheel gap ist to bad about 1/4 inch diff from front to back i dont know why mabe i just got lucky. Heaeating them in the front is a way but i would never tell anyone to do so because it makes the spring britle. Doubt that any of this helps but there it is lol.

I have s-techs as well and yeah they are a little bit more lower in the back as well. is that like a design flaw? I mean, who would actually have wanted it lower in the back to begin with, that's retarded
On the brightside it's not too noticable

Thanks for the info bro...
We can take care of you on either of these springs. As for the drop difference, from the pics I have seen the difference is not very noticeable. I wouldn't stress about it too much.

Well my s techs have started to settle a bit. The back sags just a bit more than the front and gives it a more leveled look. Neuspeed springs make the front drop more than the back giving it a more aggressive look. Not really very noticable but if you look hard enough and know what you're looking for you will notice it.
Hey I had teins installed on my 04 civic sedan and I hated it. Infact, I had to take the rears off cause it was waaaayyy too low. The rear sagged soo bad it wasnt even funny and that wasnt them settleing or anyting. I left the front on there cause the fronts are perfect. For some reason the rears are terrible...at least thats what I think. I had major problems....and still do getting 215/45/17 tires not to scrubb with those springs on. NOw I have the same teins on the front and bought a set of goldlines..and used them for the rear.
I think after the fact, I should have just spent the money for a set of Eibach..either sprort-lines for pro-kit.
Dont waste your money and make the same mistake!!

Sedans are heavier in the rear, even eibachs are lower (sag). If you are installing S-Techs on a coupe it should be fine.
I have S-Techs on a coupe and a sedan. The coupe sits perfect level, the sedan noticablly sags in the rear without any added weight. I would recommend them for a coupe only. The ride is near stock on both cars.
