Im thinking about buying some Tein S-techs for my 91 240sx. But i dont know if i need to replace the Shocks. Some people told me that all i need is just get the Springs and run them with the Stock Shocks. They said the reason was cause i wasnt running Coilovers. So My Question is do i need to replace the Shocks if i get the Tein S-Techs for my 91 240sx.

Beware of the TEIN S Techs on ebay.

TEIN USA had on thier homepage about fake S Techs being sold on ebay.

stock shocks aren't meant to handle lowering springs. in any case, they'll blow under load. get some kyb agx's, as those seem like everyones favorite...

Good thing I got mine years ago before the fakers hit ebay.

KYB AGXes, or even a good set of Konis are the way to go with tein S-techs. I have a set of AGXes on my S-Techs, and it handles nicely while giving a good ride.

Like an OEM replacement or aftermarket? What type of driving do you plan on doing with this setup?
