Tein S techs?
Ok If I get brand new tein s tech springs would I need to buy some shocks with it also? I talked to someone on this forum and he said I would need to buy shocks if I lower my car because my car has 124k miles and my shocks are already out. Is this true?

It depends on how many miles are on your shocks. If you have less than 25k miles on your shocks you might want to reuse them. They will last hopefully another 20-30k, although it depends on the roads you drive on and how aggressive the drop is. If you have more than that then you might want to consider getting new shocks.

DEFINITELY buy new shocks. 124k miles on original OEM shocks?! You're paying labor to change springs ... why pay labor again to install new shocks? At that price, you might want to consider coilovers (eg Tein Basics). Just a thought.

i would have to disagree it all depends on what he is going for, for auto x'ing tein basics or ksports, but if it is jsut for looks and he doesn't want the jarring ride like a go kart go with spring and shock it is pt less to get a coilover if your not using it as a track application if it jsut looks and daily driving go with a decent drop and adjustable dampening shocks my suggestions would be and s-tech, hr, h-tech, or even tokico blue kit.

my frd's G35 sedan has S tech springs with OEM shocks and the ride is horrible, and his shocks are about to blow up after just one year with the springs, and now he wants a set of coilvoers after seeing how my TL's setup
