Springs: Tein S or Eibach pro kit for 2008TL

Hi,

first off, I tried to use the search for 3 consecutive days and it is not working. goes to some error code.

I am ready for springs. I think the tein s lowers 1.2" and Prokit lowers 1.0". Price is about the same too. So not much diff. Can I get some feedback on ride quality/tire wear from you experienced guys/ladies? Anybody get a chance to ride on both before? I am not using it for performance. Just to reduce the wheel gap for when I upsize the wheels this summer. Thanks everyone for your help.

Thanks for the replies, do you guys suggest the Tein S for better looks or for a more comfortable ride? Also, would I need to change the stock shocks? Tein website site says these are made to work with the stock shocks but I don't know if I buy that

Anybody have pics of their ride with these springs on? I tried to go into some members pages to look but get rejected because I have no privileges? Not sure what that means. but if anybody can post pics that would be great.

Wow, looks great. wish I could access member photos and just browse. Anyways, I ended up coming across a set of Tein Basic, well I think they are anyways locally used for only 10,000km. Pretty new. Everyone prob wants to know how much. 500CDN. Thanks for all your help. I will make a new thread because I have some questions on the part numbers of the shocks.

Koni is just the shocks right? So all I would need to get full suspension would be Koni shocks and tein springs??

When I started this thread I wanted springs only, I did some searching on this forum and decided that it was not a good idea from all the experts out there. I now have a set of Tein Basics in my basement waiting for the weather to pick up so I can get them installed. Can't Wait!!!
