Ok ppl i know there has been a couple threads on which springs are good etc..... but im plainly deciding my choices between the Espelirs and TEIN STechs....... head to head comparision....

so for anyone who installed these.... or sell these....

please give me your comments on them.... ride quality....drop height..... price.... reputations....

My Rmagic lip and Autoexe sideskirts are on their way.... so the only thing that i could only think of right now is the TEINS give more of a drop in the front so it could possibly be a problem with front bumper/lip clearance comapred to the Espelirs?

Thanks!

I just got my espelirs in less than a week ago. The drop is nice and balanced in my opinion. However with that R-magic lip honestly i think your gonna scrap with either the teins or espelirs. That lip is pretty low and unless you pick you bumps wisely its probably unavoidable. But if I had to pick the springs again id stay with the espelirs, not too stiff, not too low, and just looks nice and even. With that R-magic lip your front end is already going to look lower and with a uneven drop it might look like a bit too much rake. Just my opinion. BTW theres a thread I just posted with some pics of the espelirs settled.

is the price between the TEINS and Espelirs a big difference?

Potent

nahh i only paid about 245 including shipping for the espelirs.

Arnt the TEINS only 135 plus shipping on EBAY?

djmano

yes you can find h.tech's and s.tech's on ebay for about $140 shipped.

alot of people stock tein.....its gonna be cheap. not as many people stock espelir thus the higher price.

I got my tein s-tech's in the other day, from revhighonline.com, and they were 150.00 shipped. I haven't put them on yet but I saw leegina's ti 8 with them installed and they make the car look awesome, especially with her volk 19's. Leegina posted a thread with some pics if you want to check it out.

I went with the S-tech to drop the front lower. I didn't like the higher front look. I have about 1500 miles on them with no complaints. Stated drop was 1.4" front and .7" rear, actually dropped closer to 2" front and 1" rear. Great ride quality and reduced body roll. Put about 900 miles on them in one weekend and the ride was never harsh or tiring. Very happy customer. Ordered them from OptionImport as well. They were very responsive with my shipment.
