Tien S Techs Installed on my 8 (not 56k friendly)

I just got the Tien S tech springs (thanks thew) installed last Thursday. I've been very happy with them so far and havent had any problems.

The difference in ride quality is very minimal. I had a hard time noticing any difference in terms of hardness at first, but when you drive on rougher roads the stiffer suspension gets a bit more niticeable, but not by much. I can not really comment on the handling since I have not made many very hard turns with the new springs. Also, I haven't had any problems with speed bumps and such.

I have not measured how much my car has dropped, but I will once the springs are completely settled.

If you have any questions feel free to post up and I will try to answer them the best I can.


Now for the pictures! I took a couple shots today, but unfortunately my camera's battery DIED and its not rechargable... I will definately take many more pics when I buy a new battery.

Here are the pics

Before Spring install:





After Spring install:

Springs were just under 200 with shipping and tax.
The installation cost around 275.

That looks like a really nice drop, not too low, but just right. Some of those springs might have to be next on my list.
