Oohhh those installations at dozers.
hmm. I wonder how it differs in performance wise with Tein.

From those pics, I'm assuming they are just a little lower than Tein S?

on paper they do but were going by how the ride felt jedi was talkin to me before i got my rsrs and said that dozers car felt stiffer than his and was telling me to get shocks at the same time cause a spring sthat stiff would greatly shorten my shocks life but since im broke i went with just springs and getting koni yellows next

how about a full kit?

I have a used set of Greddy Type S Suspension Kit. Only had them on the car for 2 oil changes about 6,000 miles. Still like new and ride well perfect for street.

The Tein S says they have a 1.8 drop in the front and the RSR's are claiming 1.2? Did I get that right? And topgear8 (whom I am respecting more and more each thread I read) is saying that the spring rate is stiffer on the Teins.... I know this is an older thread but I am researching the best (and lowest) spring for my new 8. It has to happen. I have been leaning towards the Teain S for a while now...

do your research, its all one sided opinion's. As of now I like my s-tech's allot and its known that the s-tech koni combo will trump most or all lower end coilover setups.
