Tein S-Tech Springs

Anyone here running a newage with a set of standard shocks with Tein S-Tech springs? Preferably an STi, bit of a long shot, but would be even better if the car was an RB320

now whats your plan...?
tein are good springs IMO
had them on a few motors

That what I had on my bug till I got the coilovers they where on standard wrx shocks

I have them on my hatch WRX they seem spot on!

Well the skyline has gone and I couldn't handle the sort of MPG they get, so back to plan A with the scoob. Got my bits sitting waiting at Andy K's ready for engine build.
But I also want to firm the car up a bit, I've got drop links, ARB's, alk so think a firmer set of springs should do the trick, don't really want to go down coilover rout if possible, so been looking at Tein, but wouldn't mind a try in a car that's got a set on to see how it rides.

Mine seemed very good I only changed them cos I tht the rear shockers where knocking turns out they wherent otherwise iv have kept them on

that's cos your a clown lol

I've got them on my Type R Alan - which you've been in - I like them. Eibach do good lowering springs as well, have you looked at those?

the eibachs are also stamped up as prodrive had them on my bug wagon not to low and a nice ride .now on steviedoos widetrack

I've got RB320 suspension on, which are eibachs, want something firmer. Will have to have a go in yours again Mario if that's ok bud?

Yeah no bother but remember my car is 200+kg lighter than the Blob

Mines got teins on (but its a classic) they not too firm so if you are already running eibachs and you want firmer you maybe need to go down the coilover route, then again im no expert on suspension so im sure someone else could tell you a bit more. I thought mine would have been firmer tbh

Yeah just had a look Mario, yours are 3.2kg/mm front and rear and the blobs are 3.7 rear and 4.3 front so should just about equal out. Wouldn't mind a look out if you don't mind just to get an idea of what they're like.

Maca, had a word with Alyn and he says the Teins are quite a bit firmer than the ones I have and John at BRD reckons they're too firm, hence would like a tester. They're only £160 guess I could just wing it and give them a try.
Did you get UK or Japanese Spec Springs Maca? Apparently a huge difference

Didn't realise there was that much of a difference between the two   

Mines are on my standard jap wrx struts mate if that helps?

Yeah there's two types GBR and JPN, I'd imagine yours are the Jap ones of you're in an import

Alan - if you are about tomorrow night just give me a shout and you can take the Type R out and pick yuour speaker spacers up as well.

I've got the prodrive ones on mine that I got off Baldy, these were fitted to the car for a few weeks and then I got a whiteline stiffer rear ARB fitted along with the whole of the rear end of the car rubber bushes replaced with poly bushes which made a big difference and stiffened the car up.

Cheers Mario, I'll pop round tonight after we've finished moving.

Stevie, that's another part of the plan going to have all bushes replaced when car goes in for new heart.

I got blob with sti suspension and green springs would say there tein as there green

There in middle of coilover and stand spring so to me there best of both

Iv had stand suspension
Sti suspension with lower springs
Coilover
bc
Apexi
D2


Coilover are nice but not for everyday use

Stand spring have to much body roll and bounce

probs isnt any help but i had bc coilovers on my bugeye and it was perfect for the road. on the soft setting they were no more uncomfortable than standard stuff and reduced bodyroll a lot.
but they were alot more expensive than springs so i did it again it would be decent springs instead.
