Tein S-tech springs on turbo2

anyone running Tein S-tech springs on their turbo2?

on their website it says s-tech only fits n/a FC.......

suspension construction wise, N/A runs a different design than turbo2??

thanks

I have the tein s.techs on my t2 with the stock shocks.

For some reason on mine I had to use spacers but other guys on here didn't so unsure why mine did.

Most will depend on the size tire you are running as well.

I had S-Techs on my TII and I actually loved them... They were forgiving enough for stock shocks, but tight enough for sharp corners...

I was running 17x7's with 225/50's all around and when I installed the S-Tech's I had to drop the tire size to 205/40 in the front... It also wouldn't fit with the stock TII wheels and tires... I forgot to mention that...

so it will rub the stock t2 wheels and tires? only on the front or all corners?

is it because the s-tech spring itself is made too wide??

The S-tech springs are about as wide as the stock springs, but they lower to the point where the tirewall comes in contact with the wider coils at the top... So you have to run skinnier tires in the front...
