New tiens?

I found these on ebay they seem to be new Tien S-Tech springs but take a look at the drop Front -2.3, Rear -2.1. Not bad right, but will it require a camber kit (or a lot of tire rotating). And one more thing I know Tien has a good reputation here but i thought S-Tech was short Spring tech and as i remember they do not have good ride quality.

T-E-I-N, or how ever you are supposed to say it. Those are the S Tech springs, I have those on my car and the drop is pretty good, but make sure you get new shocks if you want to lower your car or your ride will suck. I would recomend the TOCKICO blues, I think you can still get the group buy price from jack, thats what I did and the ride and handaling is insane, especially when you pull some e-brakes!!

Not worth it at all. Search around and you'll see a lot of people have had bad experiences with them

I have KYBs combined with Eibachs and the handling is solid. I originally wanted Tokicos but I couldn't find them on ebay for a good month and I already had my springs and I got impatient so I went ahead and got the KYBs. And then of course, the next week the Tokicos were available again for only $40 more :( But either way, the KYBs are a good buy in my opinion. It was the installation that was killer...$400...I think I was robbed :x

You don't need a camber kit. The suspension in our cars is different than that in like a Honda for example, the wheels travel strait up and down, not in like an angle so it's all good :P
