use search bro.
but yeah. In my opinion Tein is pretty good, if on Ebay, beware of counterfeit. =). or goooo with eibach's.

They have a slightly lower drop in the front then the back...to compensate for the oem setup being so much higher in the front. Make sure you have some aftermarket struts as well, your oem ones will not last long on lowered springs.

As far as ride quality is concerned, they ride great. There are A LOT of guys on here with the tein s-tech/tokico blue spring/strut combo. I dont think anyone has been dissapointed.

The biggest challenge is just the amount of time it takes to rip out the interior to get to the rear mounts. Also make sure anytime you work on the suspension or brakes that you support the abs sensors...do not let those take any tension or stress, they are an expensive fix.

thanks for the replies so far guys. Im actually bringin in my car in the shop and have them do it..but should I worry bout these guys killin my interior? haha What do they have to rip out in there in able to install the rear springs?

I have tein/tokico and i love it, rides so much nicer then the lowrider truck i had before, i have only bottomed out with my car twice since lowering it and that was pulling into my driveway both times.. never any problem with speedbumps or anything.. as for the rear interior i just took everything out, not hard just annoying and time consuming..

I just did this last tuesday night. As said before, the interior takes time. I did that the night before so I wasnt burned out when I went to the springs. Get a buddy to help. Air tools make things go faster. Think about getting the springs compressed off of the struts at shop, (safe). Check this photo gallery of some of the steps involved, Ive got good before and after.

you should replace the shock at the same time, otherwise your car will be very bouncy

Here is my car lowered on Tein S-Tech with Tokico's.
If you plan on having a heavy system in your car don't use Tokico struts. I would use TRD Struts. You can get the struts from Mark aka Krazyazn.
