wow i wish i bought the tyep SS's instead of the basic, its not stiff enough for me... =/
Hey Alex1 have you checked the rears to see if the boot is shreded at the bottom? take a look at that first... if not try and grease your springs. IF that's not that problem then check if the upper screws that bolt to the car.

it probably rides the same, but after time, if you just had springs, you would eventually blow your stock shocks. with the teins, you wont have to replace your shocks in a yr...enjoy

the reason why i bought TEIN is because it will save me money along the way from buying stock shocks and struts that blow in a few months in NYC streets. they are tougher and made to handle off road stress. plus the strut and shock body are a bit shorter eliminating that clanking sound u hear if u have springs that are about 2 inches in drop. since the gas tube on stock is longer than the spring allowing it to move up and down. they are also adjustable in height which is good for service checks at the dealer, alignments, carwashes (no driveway), and the ever so dreadful snow.

i may not be 100% accurate but im close enough.
