Hey guys, I'm looking in on getting a set of Tein S.Tech Springs.
Question is, will I need spacers?

Shocks & Tires/Rims will remain stock.

Thanks!

You shouldn't need spacers.

I have no idea why you commented. BTW, the Solara looks pretty neat with a drop and stock rims.


@Yippekaiyaymfckr - You don't need spacers but they will give you a cleaner stance. Once you lower the car the wheels will tuck in a bit, so spacers can be used to counter act that. Here is pic of funboy102 (Henry) solara that I bought. Tokico struts + Tein springs with painted stockies.

Just get wheels with proper offsets, forget about spacing the stock wheels. That would be a waste of money.
