tein s-tech installed pixs
well team
got my springs installed friday night. and just in time i couldnt wait anymore.unfortunately i was never taken care of by optonimports from ebay. they refunded my money and i had to rush order them up from revhighonline.com. got excellent help over there and exactly what they promised. so i will pickup my greddy exhaust from them soon. now the install took about 2hrs with tools went to sears today to get a compressor,impact gun for future projects.;) make sure you cut down on the bump stop about 3-4 inch im sorry i dont have pixs as process of install. only thing that took a bit of time was getting that rear shock out of trunk.(of course after removing bolts) just have to turn counter-clockwise and up and then down. after install and letting some corona's go down we packed up the 8 and took it for a spin. some of my friends said right away it looked the same. told them they have to settle.( i must admit i have dropped other cars and immediately you see a difference) oh well on to the ride the car i must say feels better if i can say one thing and one thing only about the springs is RESPONSIVE. i mean the car turns like never before.and car feels the same meaning bumps and such now remember all im on 20x19 f and 20x10 r with no pro tires and ride is great i couldnt be happier. i only have about 200-250 miles on her now but will post some more pixs in a day or so. thankyou all for reading and looking :D p.s check back for more pixs on settling |

thanks i decided on the stech over the htech that we discussed about.for the more aggressive look.
im so happy i did im very satisfied. i think when going with tein there is no right or wrong. |
if you have extra time can you post pics of the wheel well gaps front/back? im sure everybody would like to see as well. i anxious to see how it compares to the espelir drop as i am debating between the two springs currently.

Looks great! Cant wait to see the car at a future meet!
|
nice pics
looks perfect |
Aces, Kel Rx8, Aces!!!! Though the brake calipers should be repainted black as to not take anything away from the wheels. The red look nice for a short time but as you can tell from your pic, tend to look extremely dirty shortly thereafter. JMO. :)
|
thanks for the pics kel. your ride is one of the cleanest on the board w/o a kit.
sigh......what i would do for a set of 20 inch chrome maido's.....haha proally eat some klondike bars. |

JMO. :) not that i have anything against them but im sure aces dont come staggered and dont have the quality as my MAIDO wheels;) :D |
Who needs quality, anyway? As long as we can 'roll' in super-slow motion like they do in the music videos then we're set!! :D
I actually haven't heard of Ace Wheels, shhh. :( |
well guys im crying
im a dumb ass for lending my girl my car and guess what just like a women to pull into a spot and hit the curb. i havent seen it yet but im at work and im furious she saids its real bad my fucking luck. |
i wouldn't let them drive my most expensive toy...but i hope ur 20" are ok!
|
man that sucks... my prayers to your car and your girlfriend.

Sorry to here about the rim scub. I just bought the same springs and can't wait to install them. 2 questions for you 1. did you have your tires aligned. 2. the instructions read cut .8" ft. and 1.0" rear.
Your car looks GREAt. Thanks Curtis |
thanks curtis no i havent aligned the wheels yet
i felt it pull to the right abit but now with this rim scuff im gonna take them off and get a aligment. cut about 3 inches on the bump stop get a blade with a handle its easy just becareful im scared of blades after cutting my finger one night while doing a radiator. |
whats the difference between the h and s . do the s -tech drop the car more then the h which one of those drops it more even??

thanks ,iam going to go for them s-tech
|
sounds good
go to revhighonline.com they will send them out right away and they have the cheapest prices. |
I have the s-tech too, they are great. Ride quality is good, handling is great...hope you are experiencing the same.
