Tein S-tech or RS*R on my 19'' ?
Hey guys i had been searching on forums abt both of this spring and yet..im still confused ..My option is to get either Tein S-tech or RS*R with STOCK OEM SHOCKS..so i wonder which one would fit with my rims and my bodykit. Here is the spec on my car now
Bodykit
Fully Mazdaspeed
Rims
19x8.5 ( Front ) Offset +35
19x9.5 ( Rear ) Offset +35
Tire
245/35R19 ( Front )
275/30R19 ( Rear )
I dont want to have Fender rubbing issue or Mazdaspeed bodykit issue and also give me perfect drop i wanted..like 1 -1.5 fingers gap. Which springs will give me less problems and enjoy more ? And also hows the ride quality and all.. thanks guys!!
If can try to post some pic in here.. thanks.!

if you get RS*Rs you'll defintely be rubbing...especially in the rears.
as for s. techs i'm not too certain. i know they drop pretty nice, but its no wehre near the RSR drops. that what i have with OEM GT shocks and oem wheels, and if i had either a lower offset or wider wheels they'd def rub in the rear.

i'm pretty sure, but i'm not certain, just wait for atilla to see this, hes a crazy about wheel specs and he can defintely let you know if you have problems. but i'm more than positives a drop would give rubbing issues..
if you can find RSRs theyre great. i've been loving mine, but the s techs are pretty popular and seem to be a great choice.

Never fear, Jedi is here!!!
I'd go with S-Techs, I've got them on my car with Koni struts and I do not rub with my 19x10 wheels.
I did roll the fenders though due to the size of the wheels

gotcha, yeaah, the only reason i really went with the RSRs is cause i was able to get them for 130 new, plus i like the way they rode.
its your car, the s.techs are a good choice, but you gotta dish a bit more to get them.

yeaah, thats what i hear a lot as well, thats why i went with the RSR because we got them at a rock bottom price.
yeah i'm riding with them, iits slammed all a round and i have stock wheels
this is before the install of the springs (mine is in the foreground dozer's ride is in the background. he also has rsr springs)
this is a few hours later
since my wheels stay in the wheel well i havent need to roll, but if i ever get wider tires or a set with a lower offset then it might be necessary.
its pretty easy to install if you know what you're doing. we all had a install meet and knocked out 2.5 cars in a couple of hours.

for sure you'll get rubbing without rolling
and bodykit crackin, should be fine as long as you keep from scraping...but thats on how you drive.
i believe the racing beat has really moderate drop, i think its less than the s. techs.

I'd say S-Techs....
I have them with OEM struts....and 19X10 rims with 43mm offset...which puts them at about where they would be on your car with 9.5" rims and 35mm offset....
I did have to roll my fenders but I did it for the set of wheels I had before and I have 275-35-19...normally you'd go with a 275-30 on 19....you might not rub...either way...rolling the fender doesn't hurt anything...and I really like how the S-Techs are sooo comfortable around town...yet offer a great handling improvement....and they work well with the OEM struts.
