I am thinking about lowering my car with some tein springs. I was wondering would it effect my handling. Compared to stock, would there be a big different in terms of noticing any difference in rides from bounciness to turning and handling. I hope that make sense.

 

on my old s2000 i had the tein s-tech lowering springs and i loved the way they rode and i could actually go as far as saying it rode better than stock! the teins didnt lower my car enough though so i went with the skunk2's but that is just my PO

 

modifying your stock suspension will always change your ride quality (good or bad). assuming that you're getting the s techs, it shouldnt change so much since that drop is very conservative. the ride should pretty close to stock but definitely NOT stock.

 

I want a set of spring that would lower my car enough so that the wheel well meets the top of my tires without risk losing handling performances. I heard tein wasn't so bad as far as ride quality and so fort so i am considering purchasing it. I am going to wait for more inputs or suggestions for other springs before purchasing it.

 

probably espilers then. thats about a 1.5-1.75 inch drop i believe. you might have like a tight 1 finger gap on those. run a search for in the gallery for pictures. i've heard of people riding those on stock shocks for a good amount of time too.

if you want to lower it once and not have to worry about things in the future then get coilovers and adjust it to your desired height.

 

I would want purchase a good set of coil over/suspension but i am tight on money right now and a friend of mine can get a pretty good deal on the tein springs. I am not opting to go with the tein as of right now. I am just listening on inputs and other suggestions from other brands so any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

i'm only familiar with the tien s techs from what i've read on the board. anything else, you'd have to post around and ask people. if you are not opting for tiens then you should just save your money for some good coils.

www.evasivemotorsports.com sells the espilers for $219 shipped and tien s techs for $176 shipped. how much of a discount can your friend get on tiens?

how i see it, "do it right or dont do it at all"

Well i just want a good drop without really altering my handling as much compared to stock, so to speak. So if a non-expensive durable spring can give me a good drop without really altering my handling than i will go with that route. Im not really looking into doing anything "crazy" since im not auto X or any of that sort so a crazy setup is not something im looking into.

 

i agree. thats the same boat i was in when i was debating what kind of suspension to get. i was convinced to take the coilover route. why?

because if you get springs now, you'll end up with blown shocks down the road because your stock shocks werent designed for the aftermarket springs. then you'll keep upgrading this and that because you wish you had what the coilovers offered. just fork over the money now on something good and forget about it. you'll probably end up saving money in the long run.

i don't auto x or anything crazy either. my car is my daily driver.
