Tein Spring Question
NOW I WAS JUST BROWSING THROUGH EBAY AND SAW TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF TEIN S TECH LOWERING SPRINGS .. the first pic SAYS 1.5 AND THE OTHER ONE SAYS 1.6 DROP ... WHY IS ONE SET SKINNIER THAN THE OTHER SET ? WOULD ONE INCH DIFFERENCE WOULD MAKE THESE TWO SETS DIFFER ?

If you got those pics off of ebay... Those are not the actual ones. There is only one type of Tein S Tech springs. From the offical web-site they say will drop 1.3-1.4 inches. Look ---> http://www.tein.com/ti/a22.html The first pic is close to what they will look like but not it. Hope I helped a little.

This is what I was going to say. One is fake, or both are fake.
There was another thread 1mnth ago or so, a member received his Teins and was not sure if they are real or not. So I guess knock off companias are learning fast now. Not good.
0.1" difference equal to 1/10" in.

the bottom ones look similar to mine. they have that rubber stuff at the bottom but the front springs are larger just like the ones in the top picture.
