Those Tein lowering springs are right up my price alley, but the amount of drop (1.2" Front, 1.3" rear) is a little too much for me.

 

Buy them, then if you don't like them, give them to mua!!

 

Need something with less drop.

 

Check out the H tech instead of the S tech.

 

500 or so... it was bad news... normal driving so i dont really have an explination why

 

Happy Friday

 

TGIF

 

Friday

 

Matt, I misunderstood your question. I had 500 miles on the springs when i blew the factory struts. The factory struts has 35k on them when i blew the front one

 

That's honestly a really good looking drop.



Just looked it up actually, the High Techs will give you half the drop of the S-Tech. Actually, it looks like less than the A-Spec

Here's the link for technical info

What's the drop on the A-spec suspension?

 

^ not much ... bareally noticeable. Some pleople with autos go with the 6mt aspec suspension to go a little lower but its still not much. It looks lower on some tl's because they go with the 18" aspec wheels too. optical illusion

 

 

hay buddy

 

gatrhumpy buy it so I don't go crazy here
I want them too

 

Pretty sure A-Spec is 0.75".

 

not all around... IIRC is .5 front and .75 rear and thats being really really generous with it

 

That's perfect.

I don't want to go lower than an inch all around.

 

What would it cost to have a mechanic compress and replace the stock springs with the H-techs and place them on the stock struts?

 

maybe 100 bucks if you take the struts to him. If he has to take the struts out of the car and reinstall them, more than likely more

 

I'll have to because I don't have a lift.

 

i dont either... ive done it 30 times with jack and jackstands

 

It's really not all that complicated, especially if you've got a person or two helping that know what they are doing. Im sure you can get someone to come over and help you for some pizza/beer.

 

Picked up a set of 4 ton jack stands at autozone for 30 this past weekend



Best thing I've bought in awhile

 

That sounds awesome!

 

I need a low profile jack that will actually lift my car. The little POS my dad has barely fits under my car (even with wood under the tires) and then it barely lifts it.

 

harbour freight bro.. 55 bucks special this week

Thats the one I have, no issues yet.

 

WHAT! $55??! How do I get such a deal?!

 

i got a paper in the mail from them saying 55 this week. when i go home for lunch ill scan the coupon for you.. that is if you have a harbor freight around you

 

Guys, AutoGeek.net is having a Veteran's Day weekend special. 15% Off everything-no minimum.

Use coupon code Veterans2012.

 

Ehh not really. I can order it online!

I want my dad to get it though lol

 

Isnt that just a 1.5 ton though? I thought I remembered seeing that.

EDIT. I clicked the link...I have a 3 ton minimum rule in my shop. I always blow out the seals on the smaller jacks.

 

The TL weights roughly ~3500 pounds so 3000lb jack is good for me.

I don't plan on lifting the entire car

 

I gets lotsa big shit in my shop though.

 

You are only lifting it until you can get a stand on it anyway.

 

if you value your money and time dont shop here bro. look on the bbb website and they have an F rating. They dicked me over for 3 weeks for their fuck up and wanted me to pay for return shipping for a part they sent me thats wrong.

EDIT: sorry partsgeek.com is what i was talking about... carry on

 

This is with stock type s shocks and h&r sport springs for a height comparison. I have ISC N1's in the box just waiting for the time and motiviation to install them.
I also wanted moar low.

 

And they make good weapons. Have you ever seen the movie "Tangled"?
