Smile got my springs in

I threw my new springs on the car. i went with the tein s-techs. they seem to ride great. I have a short shifter on the way, and next week is the correct size tires and alignment.

what i read about the stechs was that they were designed for oem or oem replacement struts. at least thats what the ebay site said. they are a little stiffer than stock. i had dropzone coilovers on my accord and these are not nearly as bouncy. i havent driven it too much tho because we put new outer tie rods in and the alignment is off. the tires i have are 60 sidewall in the front and 75 in the back so im just going to get a used set of 4 matching tires. the front is too small and the rear is way too big.

yeah, s-techs are designed for stock struts. Get an alignment ASAP though, but the drop looks good

i kind of like it. lol isnt that just a black plastic piece and not a window?

Tein S-techs should go for around $160-$180 on ebay. watch out for counterfeit ones.

ya counterfit stechs are all over ebay! the only difference is a slight difference in the box and mainly on the springs the TEIN name is printed on the REAL springs. the fake ones just have a TEIN sticker on the spring.

i liked my old stech springs BUT i wanted a perfectly level ride so i switched to adjustable coilovers from ground control.
