Default Tein S-tech springs

I was looking at getting the S-tech springs, how do ya'll like them? I've heard drivability gets worse and one side sits lower than the other. Can anyone help?


Thanks,
Timothy

if that's the case, then why would you want to buy them?

I have them but they were on the car when I bought it. They seem to ride OK and sit level.

I think the ride is very similar to stock but I've had mine on for quite some time now so I've lost touch with exact how stiff the car rides on OEM springs. I know some people think the car sits unevenly from front to back, never heard side to side. The front and back thing is true; both wheels won't sit flush with the fender.

Heres a pic to disprove the uneven from side to side theory.


And heres a side shot to show you the difference between the front and rear drop.


I wanted a daily driveable set up that didn't look too slammed. I think this kit is great for that, but now I wish I would have gone even lower. Thats what coilovers are for .

I have them on my 2000. The ride and handling are very close to stock. The front looks great but I wish the rear was just slightly lower. Everthing is even side to side. I would definately recommend them for a moderate drop.

i wouldn't buy S-tech because on the box it says "stylish spec." i wouldn't want springs that were made for style only.
