does anyone know about these springs? are they worth installing, i read alot about a clunking noise when u lower ur car and i dont want that, any sugestions...

 

TEIN S-Techs are a great spring: fair amount of lowering, firmer ride, good quality.

Clunking noises are generally due to a bad sway bar end link. Make sure the end link is tight after the spring install. It could also be due to bad shocks. How many miles on your original shocks?

 

they are brand new acura oem about 2000 km max

 

Just installed Tokico HTS and S Tech, and I do have a clunking sound sometimes. I'm trying to figure out why...

Overall, the drop is good. Not too much, but looks good, and is the car is still hella functional in inclement weather/bad roads.

 

I've had my S-Techs for a year and a half on stock shocks and I've never experienced any "clunking" yall are talking about.

 

^This picture of your car greatly influenced my decision to buy S-Tech rather than H-Tech.

 

Thanks I appreciate that

 

NO thank you! lol

Have anymore pics?

 

Yeah I have a shit ton but don't want to whore out this thread

Here are a few...

 

put my s techs on about a month ago and now my front passenger strut is blown... has to be the springs because my tl only has 30000 miles on her.. sucks but now i guess i have to spring for the coilovers i was looking at.

 

i have these S Tech springs & love them no noise nice drop and never scrape my front lip or rub my tires and i have 20's...

 

No clunking noise here

 

thanks for the info guys...i guess ill toss them in and see how they are, i can always take them out right, i also have a camber kit instaled,

 

S techs is serving me pretty goood right now rides like stock
08 tls

 

Just wanted to give you an idea of stockies on S Techs, although I have 20mm spacers installed.

 

what is the benifit with the 20mm spacers? just to get a different offset? does anyone have more pics of stock tl on the s techs?

 

are u useing stock struts?

 

I am using Tokico HTS. The goal of spacers is to help fill out the wheel wells. It's purely cosmetic. I'm not really inclined to buy new wheels with a good offset right now, so I went with Akata spacers to change the look a bit.

 

thats cool, do you think stock struts will be ok with the s techs?, another question what offset is safe to run with out much rubbing on the rear? i have 19's id like to put on im just gettin them powder coated, they are the same style as the HRE's i think there a little better bcuz they have a 2'' lip and hres are flush

 

Stock shocks aren't ideal but you should be okay. I've had these springs on my stock shocks for 35k miles with no issues.

How wide are the 19s? What are the offset of the wheels?

 

I gotta tell ya I'm really digging my new S-Tech springs. They look and feel awesome. Thanks guys for the suggestion.

 

19x8

 

And the offset?

 

Used to have them. Never had any issues with them. Eventually sold them to another member for coilovers because I wanted to go lower.

 

What kind of shocks are you using? Are you using anything like a koni which lets you drop even more? Or is this only the S-tech springs? Thanks. Looks good. But looks pretty low. Maybe too low.. but it could be just the angle of the pic.

 

Im on S-Techs with KYB GR-2 Shocks and I love it. Close to stock comfort level with a good drop amount for a daily driver. Allows you plenty of clearance with speed bumps, etc. No 'clunking' at all. Check my pics for another good depiction of what drop looks like.
