Default just springs?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-05...spagenameZWDVW

i was looking at these^ and i was wondering what people thought of them. im not going for super performance yet. just trying to rid myself of the wheel gap and sit a little lower.

will i get the "rice bounce" with these? i dont really want to get a ****ty ride out of this.

let me know what you think!

TEINs are incredible springs and are made to work with you stock shocks... I have them on my car and the ride is perfect. Stiff, but not too stiff. Definately not bouncie. Also, TEIN is the #1 selling suspension company in Japan so you know they are good. I was stationed over there for 3 years and thats all the drifting guys use.

no, my shocks are stock... the stock shocks still feel great and the springs are still tight.

I also have the tein s-techs. they are softer springs when you compare them to H&R's and Eibachs, but the ride is pretty nice. You get a niec drop of 1.9F/1.7R, so with 205/40/17 wheels it is just about perfect.

I've had them for around 5 months or so...haven't had a problem with them. you will be able to ride them on stock shocks too, because the spring rate is so close to stock springs. Just make sure when you put them in you get your car aligned. The drop will cause a little negative camber, but you will be able to fix that with camber shims/washers.
