Tein coilovers worth having (FD3S)?

I just bought a fd for parts and was surprised to see a set Tein coil overs on it. I know they are well known and good quality but are thy worth the trouble of putting them in to my drivable fd? I don't mine stock ride hight. But might drop it 1/2 - 1 inch Will I see any problems with drivability if I do this? I still have yet to find model of then only saw them when I picked up the car.

the only problem you will have when you drop it any amount is the alignment will be off. I recommend getting an alignment after you adjust the height.

They are good coilovers especially once you get into the flex and above lines.

if they are green/black they are likely flex which are good; and relatively cheap to rebuild by Tein California (dont remember the exact price but I remember thinking wow not bad, )

All it says is type H in back and type HA in front looks to be green with black spring with tein embossed in green on spring.
Any idea what model it would be.
Any one here have a set. If the ride slot stiffer ?

If I had to guess I'd say you have some HAs

Love Teins, just bought some used N1s and have been using a set of super racing for 8 years with no issues

I have a set of TEIN Type HA's on my FD and love it ... as long as they're not leaking and in good shape, you will enjoy them.
