People with Tein S tech's PLEASEE HELPP

Hey guy's,

about 3 weeks ago, I got my Tien S tech's installed on my 04. last week or so, whenever I go over even a small bump or a shallow speedbump on the road, the car's tail seems to sway out of control. The ride is not as tight as i thought/hoped it would be after these springs. Is this normal?? Any suggestions? Hope it is something simple as incorrect air pressure in the tires...
thanks.

The same things happens to my comptech springs. I'm planning on getting a camber kit for the rear to see if it fixes that problem.

First did you get an alignment afterwards? If not you need too because your "toe" is outta wack. Mine behaves just as it did before lowering it with the S-techs which means the rear does have a slight shimmy (doesn't sound as bad as yours though). The comptech RSB should greatly reduce this if not eliminate it completely. I will be ordering my RSB soon.

I don't have any problems. Sure the S-Tech's are soft, but not a bad choice. This is my sixth car that I have lowered and by now I would know of issues.

BTW - did you cut the bump stops in the front/rear for the stock shocks? If not, that may be your problem.

Bring the car back and have the tech adjust the springs. They may be installed upside down. I had the same problem, but was fixed.

How are the springs supposed to be installed? The closer coils on top or bottom?
