tein s-teck installed - 6/23/2005 6:34:10 PM    mill$civic Posts: 8471 Joined: 2/24/2005 Status: offline I just installed a new pair of tien s-teck springs on my 2000 civic, 1.95 in the front,1.67 or somthing in the back, there great, it feels like my stock springs,not bouncy,a little little bit stiffer (that i can tell,only had them for about 4 days), and it corners amazing!,alllllllllllllllllllot less body roll, and when he installed them,he dident cut the bump stop and there nooo problems at all going over bumps..its not that low, but just perfect for an everyday driver but people say it might get a little lower,i need to let the springs settle a bit more (only had them for 4 days),anyways,just letting you guys who are asking about these springs,here are some picks too, u cant really see how low it is because the way the ground it but the back wheels start to tuck...

Teins are guaranteed to never sag more than (i think) 1mm. sweet springs there man. enjoy them. _____________________________ Yes, there's a "Replacement for Displacement".

And just so you know, the back ones will probably take a week or so to settle in to their measured height. _____________________________ Your Forum Turbo Groupie...

RE: tein s-teck installed - 9/2/2005 10:45:37 AM    Honda_man Posts: 612 Joined: 9/1/2005 From: Columbia, Missouri Status: offline Here's a question: will you have to install different struts? or anything else like camber adjuster things? I didn't know if you would with such a small drop... I know hondas are bad about breaking struts if you don't replace them after lowering the car... just wondering... anyone know? cuz I wanna get a set after I get my car... lol (in reply to mill$civic) Post #: 9

RE: tein s-teck installed - 9/2/2005 12:44:03 PM    Kappa22 Posts: 3100 Joined: 12/4/2004 Status: offline S-techs are pretty basic springs as far as drop and stiffness rates go, so you don't NEED to replace your struts. And as for camber, 1.5" isn't going to give you even -1o, so you don't really need to worry about it. _____________________________ Your Forum Turbo Groupie...
