Tein Springs on stock struts

Tein Springs on stock struts

Postby indiglosolara » Thu Jun 05, 2003 6:38 pm

Hey everyone. i was thikning about getting the Tein Springs for my car since the drop is the same as the TRD/eibach. but i am going to be using my stock struts. Does anyone know how they ride with stock struts. I have seen of u guys use the tein springs but didn't really find any feed back when using the search function. i just wanted to know some feedback on these springs and is it worth it. I
ve been thinking about lowering my car for months now and still can't decide on what to get.

thanks

Kenny

You'll see the same results with any lowering springs on stock struts. The struts are going to wear out very quickly and you'll have to replace them. The tiens look like nice springs, but i'd change to struts to get the full benefit of them.
