Tein S-tech

Hey, i just installed my Tein S-tech's and i was wondering if anyone noticed a difference from the day you got them installed, to a month later? Was there any noticable increase in drop? They say the settling of the springs takes about 2-3 weeks. Let me know! Thanks and happy modding!

did your springs make any noises when you turned the wheel at all? if it did how long did it take for it to go away

mine didn't, do you remember anything that you were hesitant about when you installed the springs?

If you have a sedan you'll be dissapointed. The rear is way lower than the front now. Same springs on a coupe looks perfect.

Did you index your upper mounts when you took them out? They need to go back in facing the same way, otherwise you'll get a 'pop' sound when turning.

yeah there is a noticable difference after about a month. Even on a coupe the back drops more than the front, but it looks absolutely perfect to me. And yes mine did make a rubbing sound when turning the wheel all the way right. Went away after about two weeks.

Well when i put my teins in on a 04 lx coupe, it didnt make much different and after a couple of months the drop still looked the same, i loved the ride but the drop looked almost stock, i know have ground control coilovers and the car looks great and the ride isnt as bad as i thought.

How safe is it to drive on these without an alignment. Yes I know I have to get one but I might wait a few days for it to settle. Highway ok?

604 what the hell did you do?

Woop. Just got these put in. Very noticable right after. I haven't measured but I'm guessing its just over an inch.
