Tein Springs info

[D-Roll]

Just got off the phone with a rep from Tein and they advised me that testing is still underway on the coupe. The springs will be available in about 3-5 months.

I personally am interested in the H-Tech springs but it seems like an eternity before they will be available http://www.tein.com/products/high_tech.html

Might just go with the Eibach Pro-Kits in January

I like how it takes pros 3-5 months to develop something that works and meets specs... And how people are willing to take 3-5 minutes to cut/heat their springs lol...

Go figure

The H-Techs would be the best bet for GreyZone. Similar to what he's looking for.

Has anyone owned both Tein and Eibachs before. That's the only true valid comparison. I've had eibach sportline and pro kit on the same car, and while the handling and cornering was fantastic with the sportlines, the pro kits made for better and more comfortable everyday driving.

Can anyone comment on Eibach pro kit vs, Tein H-techs?

I've had the Eibach Sportlines on my 99 Civic back in the day, and the daily ride wasnt the best along with buying tires often wasnt worth it. I friend of mine has the pro-kits on his specV and it's a nice ride. Another friend of mine has the Tein H-Techs on his WRX, and the ride is very smooth, not bumpy.

Now wait just one dang minute...I never said I was willing to heat my springs!! I would never be that crazy. And it's gonna take a whole lot longer than 3-5 minutes to cut those buggers! Cheez...Probably take us at least three hours! Just clarifying the exact type of insanity I'm afflicted with! hahahaha.

I ordered today a "back-up" set of front springs, just in case when we do this cut, if it like totally sucks a$$ then stockies go right back on. I did verify today that the front springs are not progressive spring rate springs, so that if the spring is able to successfully be cut, and still slot into place, then I will have the same exact ride, just 1.5" lower...which is just what Im after!

We shall see!! we shall see!!

i like the sound of this set of springs...confort, performance and lowering...if its as good as it sounds i mite get it...also its GOLD haha

I live in a crappy city..with crappy roads... lots of parking lot in and out has a mini hill which causes huge scrape-age of the front bumper... would these be ok for the alti since the altima isnt that low to start off with?

and how much would it cost to get it installed?

[generic808]

An install will typically run about 2 hours and most speed shops usually charge labor by the hour ($60-$100) so look to spend anywhere from $100-$200 for installation.

wanna teach thsoe who dont even now how to take off wheels?

if some one happens to do the spring mod (or any other mods) dont forget us nico people....get pictures with instructions!!

[LongBeachCoupe]

any spring/suspension mod done by someone reading a how-to is surely going to end up with a hole in a wall or in your face... depending on where the spring blows thru...

YOU NEED KNOW-HOW and specific tools to do a spring install... Do-It-Yourself'ers beware! This isnt installing HID's... you can kill yourself (literally) by doing this wrong

Wise words, leave suspension mods to the experts, TRUST ME!!! its a dangerous job and its not worth saving a couple of bucks.

[D-Roll]

I've done for years, so I guess I am an expert by now. I know it's dangerous but i also use the right tools.
