tein s tech question

i have an 05 sedan and was wondering if there are any dead coils on the front springs tein s tech.

i have a pretty heavy system (1 12 ported) and was wondering if i could use tein s tech and cut one dead coil off the front to even the drop.

Tein's are better suited for coupes.... only 2 companies make springs for sedan I think, Neuspeed is 1 of them.... you might be better off with those

yea, this kinda sucks.

i want 1.5" or 1.6" all around for my sedan.. but the neuspeeds are a 1.75" drop

i basically want my car slightly lowered so i dont have a huge fendergap, but i still want to be able to go over all speedbumps and stuff without having to do one wheel at a time and worrying about scraping.

the Neuspeeds are 1.75 F and 1.5 R, thats not too bad...
Neuspeed race on OE or Blues are a bad idea.

Eibach Sport-Lines in front.
Eibach Pro-Kit in back.

This is sort of costly but will result in what you are looking for.

If you can find a set of Goldline springs it would be cheaper.

i like my tein basic... it's so much fun driving my car now (except the noise coming from the front suspension, hopefully the new 01 upper mount will solve this problem)....
