Since Tein S-Tech springs arnt that stiff, would it be ok to put it on stock shocks with out having to blow them, have a low rider look, or be very bouncy??


Spring Rate Front: 2.1/117 (gf/mm, lbs/in)
Spring Rate Rear: 2.4/134 (gf/mm, lbs/in)
Ride Height Front: -25 (mm), -1 (inch)
Ride Height Rear: -24.5 (mm), -1 (inch)

please reply, i really need to know b4 i do it

 

no feedback?

 

that wouldn't be recommended. Stock shocks aren't very good at handling a lower stance, especially with a softer spring. And keep in mind that the shocks on any FC will be at least 13 years old if they're original shocks. Do it right and get replacement shocks too.

 

If you're trying to save money, do the opposite of what you are saying.

Cut the existing springs, replace the shocks with something much stiffer and fixed or adjustable.

Cutting the springs will lower the ride height and increase the spring rate, it will require good shocks or you will be bouncing.

 

lol, what makes you think tein stechs arnt stiff. I have them installed with KYB agx struts, and i still get a little bounce when the struts arnt set to the highest setting.

 

don't get me wrong... tein makes AWESOME coilover systems... but their S-tech line of springs weren't designed with much thought in mind. There are many better springs you can get that matches the car much better.

 

stechs are designed with alot of thought in mind! are you kidding me? theyre straightforward lowering springs, and they are very progressive rate. 130lbs doesnt mean much, because it increases as spring compresses. ive driven on stechs before. theyre not too bad.
