Default Spring Installation

Hi. I'm thinking about dropping my car with Tein S-Tech (it could change, any suggestions?) in near future (less than a month), and I was wondering if anyone could suggest where to get it installed. Any suggestions in Nashville/Murfreesboro area?

Thanks

Cool! Thank you very much for your offer Do you have any suggestion on what spring to get? I'm mainly thinking of Tein S-Tech because it lowers the car just nice (not too much or not enough) and its price.

I ran Espelir's for a while when I had my 00.... I like them.. although it might be more of a drop than you want.

I have the tein springs... they are a good height... Not low enough for my taste though.. I wanted my stock tires to tuck a little but didnt make it that far... They ride nice though but you can hear a little squeek when you go over speed bumps and stuff like that! i put mine on but shot my stock springs across the driveway!! HAHA .... Oh well... !

Sounds like Espelir drops the car more than I want... So, from ride height prospective, I need to go with S-Tech. But, what about the ride quality? Are these two comparable? To stock?

It sounds like only difference between Tein and Espelirs is the ride height. Where is the best place to get either spring? I saw some auctions on Ebay for Tein ranging from $115 to $169 (before shipping) and EvasiveMotorsports is offering Espelirs for $165 shipped. Have anyone dealt with EvasiveMotorsports?

Also, do I need to have a camber kit with either spring? It seems like (my uneducated guess) I might need to have a camber kit with Espelirs since it drops quite a bit, but is this the case?

Thanks

Thats the Espelir ride height on stock wheels.





the s2k has a stock camber adjustment bolt so you'll be fine. Just take it to a good shop to get it re-aligned and run around -1.75 to -2 camber in the back. Evasive seems to be a reputable shop.
