Talking nice

I'm installing my tein and tokico blue shocks together. I'll tell you how the spring runs after installation.

I was running Tein S-Tech's with KYB AGX's on my last TII and they worked beautifully. Had to swap them out for coilovers though when I got my Work's, because the +35 offset on the fronts required a smaller spring diameter to clear.

I have a GTU, and was wondering if with either of these brands I have to get the turbo models. I've noticed that with some brands this is required. Any ideas?

Tanabe's are the second stiffest street spring next to RSR Race. Teins.....I just plain don't like.

It's recommended to use TII shocks (minimally) when installing any aftermarket springs, but it's not absoluteky necessary. You can use the GTU shocks.

You're replacing the springs. There is no difference between springs. They are universal for all FC's.

I have the Tein spring on right now and tokico blue shocks together. They both seems to give me a pretty steady ride. I LIKE IT!!!!
