not low enough. i had eibach springs at one point which have the same drop as S-techs and every time i looked at the car, i wished it was lower.

 

aren't you already lowered though?

 

nvm, i used the search forum and decided to go with these. yeah i am lowered, buts its only 1.7 in front and 1" in the back. i wannnnnna go lower. FUCK IT. coilovers this spring ftw.

just remember though that the Tein coilovers won't slam the car. unless you get the shortened springs.

 

whhhaaat? i thought all i need was the coilovers? wth is a shortening spring ? doesnt the coilover replace the springs? haha im a beginner sorry

 

If you're going to buy the Teins online for that much, you might as well buy it from an authorized local Tein dealer for cheaper. Beware of fake Teins on ebay. Im not saying the site you linked are selling fakes but just be cautious of anyone who's isn't Tein authorized.

 

Well the max drop on the Tein coilovers is only a tiny bit more than the Tein S-tech springs. If you really want to slam the car to the ground I recommend going for Function & Form coilovers. They're cheaper and they get the job done nicely. I have about 8000 miles so far on my F&F type 1s with no issues at all.

But if you want to maintain ride quality, then stick with the Teins. You can get shortened springs for the Tein coilovers that will allow you to slam the car.

 

Last question ! your really a big help btw haha.
are these the ones your talking about ? if not where could i get the f&f coilovers? im getting my tax money sooon so i wanna drop it.

Just a heads up we have the TEIN springs in stock and on sale on our website.

Also, if you're considering coilovers, you should consider our new XLR8 ISC coilovers. Adjustable ride height, adjustable damping, your choice of spring rates, and only a $200 deposit needed now to order.

Yup those are the ones. Try and find a seller who accepts offers and low ball them. That's what I did and I got mine for about 560 shipped.

 

I was thinking of getting lowering springs. I want to know which type of lowering springs would be good for a 2003 tl-s ?

 

Depends on the kind of drop you want and how firm you want the suspension to feel. PM me with some specifics and I'll help you choose a spring.

Do you still have them?

 

What's the drop? If they are the lowest lowering springs I'll take em

 

I am new to the whole modded car thing and wanted to jog your memory on a couple things. I've heard that if you use lowering springs it will make your stock struts go out extremely quick, is there any truth to this claim? I've also heard if you replace stock struts with after market struts you're fine. And also the reason I'm looking into lowering springs as opposed to coilovers is because of the price, I want to lower my car the most I can with lowering springs, but while maintaining as smooth of a ride as possible. Do you guys have any suggesting on springs? My car needs more low, but my bank account is low. Any suggestions for me?

 

Yes, lowering springs on stock shocks will ruin the shocks very quickly. You would be fine if you use a aftermarket performance oriented shock like a Koni Yellow, but then the spring/shock combo is often more expensive than a decent set of coilovers.

If you need more low at a low price stick with the Street Basis. We have the full set available for $531.
