Tein lowering springs on your car?

[lonldrifter]

im about to get some tien lowering springs but would like to see how they look on the car the 1.5 in front and 1.2 in rear just doesnt seem like much dont want to pay for something im not going to like so if you have pictures post them so i can see what they look like!!!

[KDashy]

Hrmm. Are you running on stock wheels?

[Looneybomber]

It will look similar to this

Coilovers on an S2000, very topical.

i think he wanted to know about the S-Techs since he mentioned springs, and not coilovers.

Tein S-Tech Springs (if that is what you wanted to see) lower the height of the car 1.2 in the rear and 0.8 in the front IIRC.

Pics will be up as soon as photobucket is up.

Im pretty sure that answer was a joke considering the only way you could get more common then tein on a 240 would be if it had FN's...

for the love of god use the search button, its large and blinking.

Tein S-Tech springs/ KYB AGX Struts

Will probably be replacing these soon in favor of Stance GR+ Pros.

Search next time. I have tean springs on my girls car and I don't like them at all. Not lowered enough, ride is to soft and that's with KYB's AGX Don't do it, save extra $40-60 and buy eibach springs or other brands but not tein.

I'll post pictures later if I have time. Anyways it looks stock!

Red coupe, you're going to love oh-so-typical 240. Here it is complete with Tein S-Techs and bronze FN01RC wheels and Tein sticker.



I guess I'm the posterchild for fanbois.

i say u just save up more and grab basic tein coilovers for $900+ and adjust the height yourself.

Yea, don't get Tein coilovers either. There are several brands out there that have been known to perform better, and if you search on NICO you'll find that Tein isn't quite as awesome as their reputation makes them sound.

Here's the deal with Eibach springs. The Prokit doesn't lower them much at all, the sportline springs lower the car way to much, throwing off suspension geometry.

Personally, if you are looking for a drop and performance without buying coilovers you should look at RSR springs or Suspension Technique. I think that both have a linear spring rate compared to Tein's progressive rate.

If you decide to save and get coilovers I would go with KTS or Stance, MR coilovers are used by many NICO members and seem to hold up great for their low price.

If you're really looking for an improvement in handling get some decent tires!

thanx everyone the last thing i want is to put lowering springs on my car and it look stock so i think ill wait and look around

[jdotlim]

yeah but i thought he wanted to stick to teins but yeah stance's are good coilovers

[Repo Man]

Good lord you guys, not everyone can pop $900+ for coilovers and not everyone wants to be slammed to the ground. The OP may want to be lower than the S-Techs go, but not necessarily skimming the ground. If you want aggressive lowering with just springs, you can get the Eibach Sportline but you'll have to install a camber correction kit to maintain a proper alignment. Now, these are not the best springs from a performance standpoint, but they will give you the look you want if you just want to look good and be low.

I had Intrax springs on my first 240 (the green coupe in my sig) and I liked those quite a bit.

speaking of tein s.techs i just ordered me some ($145) a week ago and expecting them to be in any time soon..ill try to get some pics up..the reason why i bought these was to LOWER the car and hopefully it does just that..another thing im putting mine on my stock struts for now untill i get more funds..ohwell

I got some el-cheapo MaxSpeed springs off ebay with some kyb AGX and it dropped it about 1.5" front and rear. Looks good. Rides nice. Definately noticeable but not scraping anything......

[Didderson]

man that roll cage on the s2k looks quite gay, in both respects. It's nearly purple, almost clashes, and it just looks outta place on a non hardtop LAWLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Similar type, but looks much better on s15 Varietta.

save your money for coilovers

even used ones

cause springs blow monkey balls and are ghetto

[89coupe240]

if your looking for just springs i would recomend megan racing they are stiffer and lower it a little more

[young-gunn]

Tien Springs came with my car, bought AHX's and installed them

I hated everything about them. Opted for a set of intrax's I got on sale,

They were nice and stiff, but just not low enough and not adjustable. I bought coilovers and now I'm a little happier. Not expensive ones, but better than spring/shock setup.
