I ran on tein springs and stock shocks for a while. Didn't blow the shocks, but my comfort went up a lot when I swapped in the blues. You have no excuse now.. hahahahaha

Looks better but you are still 4x4 drop that boy now.

Mr.VTEC 07-25-2010 11:34 PM

Re: NEW TIRES!!! Finally
 
it rides better for sure! I noticed it right away. They feel a bit softer at high speeds...like if I gently turn the wheelback and forth on the freeway they feel like the give a little more..maybe cause they're bigger...and they are pretty soft.

And I plan on dropping it soon...but for now I feel its ok. I cant afford $3000 in Tein suspension right now lol

Re: NEW TIRES!!! Finally
 
tein s-tech's will run you $200... blues are another $450

...and I have a full coilover suspension and it didn't cost me anywhere near $3000.. I have a $1600 coilover setup I paid $1250 (shipped) for.

Re: NEW TIRES!!! Finally
 
The tien basic coilovers are like 1200 or something like that. Dont know where you are getting that they are 3000.

Re: NEW TIRES!!! Finally
 
Where can I shop for this stuff? Teins website or ebay?

02civicsi02 07-26-2010 12:21 PM

Re: NEW TIRES!!! Finally
 
Corsportusa.com or showstoppersusa.com. Showstoppers has the tien coilovers but another good replacement is progress coilovers and they have them on showstoppers and corsport.
