Tein EnduraPro questions

I’ve got a 2007 TL-S that needs a suspension overhaul. I know I know, coils would be cheaper. BUT. I’ve done the coils on previous TLs, and honesty for my daily hauler I love the ride height of the H&R sports on these cars and don’t want to mess with dialing everything in.

Not trying to stance it out or hit the track, just want the ride height and similar to stock ride.

I am intrigued by the Tein endura pro shocks for the price and damper adjustment but I am getting conflicting info. Some sites are excluding the Type-S. Anyone running them? Tein site doesn’t exclude the S, what am I missing here?

They're probably not configured for the Type S springs.

The enduarpro is like an OEM replacement. They're calibrated for ride quality and spring rate on the base model TL, from what you are saying. But they will physically fit the Type S.

But you're you're going to be way outside their damping range with lowering springs. Are your lowering springs specific for a type S?

I used the Endurapro+ with Swift lowering springs on my G37S sedan and I hated it. I think the hydraulic bumpstops were pretty much always active and they were coupling with the regular bumpstop and the springs to produce a ridiculously high spring rate. Every bump felt like the car would break apart. They worked really nicely with stock springs, but they were a little lazy feeling like all Teins are.
