Skunk2 vs Tein lowering springs

[noender]

I cant decide witch one to buy tein or skunk2. Tein offers a drop of 1.5 front 1.2 rear and they are $155 shipped and skunk2 offer a 1.4 front 1.3 rear drop and are $142 shipped. the roads were i live have very deep dips and im planning on crossing the car to mexico the streets are crazy over there they go from normal to dirt im open for other springs 2 im not looking for something 2 drop i dont want to end up with broken oil pan or mess up lip or bumber

I vote neither. If you're going to drive that car in Mexico then just keep it at 4x4 ride height. Some people like drop springs, but with S13's. I hardly notice much a difference in ride height.

With those kinds of roads, I wouldn't advise a drop. I have Tein springs front and rear (KYB struts rear, stock front) and the ride is not "comfortable" on even slightly bumpy roads. I do advise an STi.

very true. coilovers do provide a dropped look, but you do not want that. unless you intend to raise the coilovers way up... I had teins and gr2s(kyb) I loved them. A little stiff for spring IMO but decent overall.

I hate to do this but. I happen to be selling them for abou 300 + shipping. springs have about 15k struts are about 4k.... email if you interested. But like said if your driving on crazy roads you want stock!

I bought the Eibach Pro-kit and I'm very happy with them.

it seems that im going to have to leave my 240 at home every time we go eat tacos at mex and tag along with my friends

sbird1...thanks for the advice but i cant afford one

ZenkiCam...what drops do ur skunk2 offer because im a little confuse now i was checking skunk2 site for the spring specs but i said that it offer a 1.5-1.7 drop and the website that i saw the sping said they offer a 1.4 - 1.3 by the way is the ride comfortable?

the reason im asking is because on my friends 240 he has tein lowering spring new shocks energy suspension bushing and strut bars front and back and the ride feels ok as my friends 95 civic has tein lowering spring and shocks feels awesome it seems that the car is gliding

thats almost always a lie. on the site that i bought them from it said a 2.3 F and 2.7 rear, and its pretty damn near close to that..

[noender]

so whats the actual drop?
