Default REVIEW: Tein S.tech on an 05'

ok..ill try to make this kinda quick..





Install

I took them to a local shop and had them installed for $100. It took the mechanic about an hour. Wouldve done it myself, but i dont have the tools..

Comparison

Ok...here are the before and after pics...





Before and After Measurements FRONT





Before and After Measurement REAR





Driving Impression

I've had these springs for a day now...The ride is excellent, perfect height and smooth handeling. Feels very much like stock, in fact, i couldnt even tell the difference between the two.

The car handles much better on turns, etc. Before , the car used to bounce a little on turns and bumps, but now its much stiffer and smoother coming off turns. Driving with a front lip, you need a little caution, but now too much. I found myself getting into driveways with minimal effort.

Conclusion

If your looking to SLAM your s2000...then these are not the springs for you.

On the other hand, if you just want to get rid of that gap and improve handeling, then i HIGHLY recommend these springs. So far so good!!

Pics with the new veilside v1 wing..




Email me if you have any questions...and goodluck!

Looks great. Are you running the stock shocks. Could we see a pic of the whole car lowered.

Thanks.

Your car looks perfect. I 'm considering the Veilside lip you've got. Where'd you get it? I understand that NO drilling is required. Is that true?
