i just recently installed tein s.techs .... tell me what you guys think!

 

1 very nice, any before pics?

2 can you raise and lower the car and take pics? or are these only springs

 

these are springs only

 

looks really really nice. I couldn't imagine going any lower than that and that's only 1.25", right? Have you noticed any scraping yet?

 

Very nice set-up!!! How many inches did these springs lowered your TL???? Thanks!!!! Now all you need is some 19inch shoes!!!!

 

they were suppose to be 1.7 in the rear and 1.4 in the front....but after they were installed, it doesnt look like the height it's suppose to be. o well, i like though...its very subtle...

but anyways...thanks for the comments

and nope i have not notice any scraping..i drive very carefully

 

That's a pretty good drop for just springs! Do you have any camber issues???

 

Looks good.

 

 

It looks more than that!!! How many inch of Gap do you have for front and rear??

 

That looks sweet. But how's the ride? I think the stock shocks are under-dampened for the stock springs; too floaty for me.

 

From what i heard lowering the car w/ just springs eventually causes problems, is this true and why? other than that the drop looks great

 

How's the ride compared to stock?

 

how about camber? do your tires BOW OUT?

 

First off, the car looks GREAT.

Lowering the car w/ just springs will cause problems eventually (I am already experiencing some of these). I without new/upgraded shocks, the stock shocks get worn quickly and are subject to blow out. I find my car really bouncy now compared to when I first got springs (about 10 mo. ago). Good adjustable dampening shocks will be my next upgrade on my TL.

 

Exactly. Shocks are supposed to dampen the spring when it starts oscillating. Aftermarket springs have a higher spring rate than the stock ones, so it takes a heavier-duty shock to dampen the spring. The stock shocks will work a lot harder and a lot longer now with the aftermarket springs, causing premature wear.

 

i feel the car can handle much better than stock, the ride is still smooth. it is exactly what i was looking for, not too stiff but stiffer than stock.

 

I had HnR sports on my 02 TL for 50,000 miles and never had problems with shocks. The ride was awsome! I even got 42,000 miles on the tire with not a bit of camber problem. HnR rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Looks real nice, How much did it all cost you????

 

Sounds right. so with those springs above and koni shocks would that be a good match? and how long will it last?

 

I was thinking of getting those springs too. Drop looks good. How's the camber on the rear wheels?

 

b4 my TL i had a 98 accord. dropped 1.75 inches. i had about 125+K miles on it and never had a problem with the shocks. i had about 100K on the springs. they were perfect and the shocks were still good till the end. suprisingly i had the same shocks and they were good....

my guess is that most of the traveling was on the springs and hardly on the shocks, thats why it last so long.

 

It all depends on what kind of driving you do, stock shocks will wear out quicker with springs, but if your the type to baby your car and only drop it 1 inch for looks you'll be ok for a while. If your the type to slam your car three inches and beat the $hit out of it you can blow them in about 2 hours( I've done it). I say if your gunna do it, do it right the first time. Get some teins!!!

 

I also dropped my previous car 2000 Honda Prelude White Pearl 2 1/4 inch front and 2inch rear for 4yrs with over 100k miles and had no issue or problems with the OEM shocks. I had H&R racing springs and it was all good.

 

I can't see the pics anymore !

 

I never got to see them at all...

all i see are the comments saying how it looks so nice...
