Cdn A-Spec

I finally got a good picture of the drop of the Tein High Tech Springs I installed. Pretty much like the comptechs, except the springs are cheaper, and they also ride really nice .

Check out the pics here

These springs with the Neuspeed sways make a pretty good handling package. Now to get rid of the crap Michelins....

drop looks nice...and i def recomend ditching the michlens....some summer tires on a bigger rim would greastly improve handling

hey what was the overall drop? is it raked like the comptechs? i've ordered the springs and am awaiting delivery :P

I didn't measure it before, so I couldn't tell you. Like I said before, from the pictures I've seen, it seems the same as comptech. I like the height, not too low, but low enough. Hope you enjoy the springs as much as I do.

njtls: I was going to do bigger rims but I like the stock look (and I don't have the cash), but I'm going Nitto NT-450s 225/50/17 for tires in the spring.

i thought they were tein S. tech, not high tech, but maybe i am wrong. either way looking good.

The Tein High Techs are the new ones. Less of a drop (supposed to be 1.5 fr, 1.0 rr)

Looks good! I can't wait till I get Tein coilovers installed, then I won't be driving an SUV. hehe.

Looks nice,how did you get a A-Spec.How much was it in USD?

The Acclude

COmptech definately gives is a better stance...not much, but slightly, and more noticable than that, so I'm glad I didnt jump on the tein bandwagon, but any springs (not OE) are better than none.

daym i didnt know they had a 03 A spec....ne who how much was it and whats the diff besides the rims?

shimbo519

do a search....

Looks nice. I'd say it's closer to the H&R OE drop but without the rear sagging.

I'd recommend getting some SP9000's or Firehawk SZ50 or Toyo TS1 in 215/50/17 for your rims and then getting some cheap 16's for winter.

Looking real sweet

Deuce: Well you see since I'm Canadian, I bought the car there, then since I'm married to an American, I moved here. So once I transfer everything over when I get my residency, I'll have the only A-Spec registered in the US.

hemants: I'll check if any of those come in 2225/50/17, I'd like the wider tire, and so far the Nittos are the nicest ones in that size (I had a set of NT555s on my mustang (275/40/17) and loved them)

Thanks for the comments

I think it looks nice, but honestly I can hardly tell the car is dropped. It looks almost the same as mine. Does CT drop the car more than the Tein springs do???

hemants

Yes, CT drop is about 2/1.5 front/back.

I mean I can tell that there's a slight drop over mine, but it nearly unnoticeable. Is there any way to drop the car any more with the tein springs?

Get the Tein S Tech springs. I didn't want a big drop, just the handling increase.

"I mean I can tell that there's a slight drop over mine, but it nearly unnoticeable. Is there any way to drop the car any more with the tein springs?"

Not really :-) You'd best pick another spring as CdnASpec says, maybe the Tien S Tech (dunno the specs)

I think what you are probably looking for is the H&R sport that is designed for the TL 50103. That would be lower than what I see above, and less or no rake compared with Comptech.
