Nah, not that fast.
Had Tein s tech springs over year before i switched to coilovers.
About 15000 miles on stock struts and wasn't blown.

I was going to go cheap and just get springs but Im so glad I just spent the cash to get the full coilovers. The ride is great!

If your on a budget then you do what you have to I guess but if you can get the whole thing its worth it.

i know coilover is great.. but seems 800 is too much for me right now.. hopefully i won't blow the shocks that soon...

anyway, i'm doing the drop next week at garage kwai ($120 for install).. can't wait to see it when it's finished!!!

What day are you going to get them installed? Im thinking about going up their on either Monday or Tuesday to see what Im getting done next.

I was thinking it would be cool for a few of us to roll up their and see what type of group deals they could cut us on stuff and\or sponser our next civic meeting? This might be a good time to do it because I got my Tein basic done last week and Simony is getting a drop next week. This will help them realize that we spend some dollars already with them.

Gearbox, BoostJunkie what do you guys think? I know we kicked around the idea some on another post but we should try to get something started. It would be real cool to hook some kind of deal if possible but their only going to do that if we come deep.

People also tend to do good jobs and provide great service when they know that a large group of people bring in cash for them. If they say no thats cool also because Im sure somebody will want the volume buisness.

Some people see Black others White. Smart people see green!

Open floor for ideas and comments
