Default Tein is making our springs!!

Yea, apparently tein is still in production for our springs and I was very surprised by its drop rate.

F 2.0" R 2.9"

Might as well get this when it comes out

those drop numbers cant be correct. only 2" in the front and 2.9" in the back. that would look dumb. make the car look like it is sagging in the rear.

wait i see....you read it wrong, its a 2.9" drop all around not a 2" in the front and 2.9" in the back

Their table is all messed up, tough to tell. But it looks as if they meant to say 2" front and 2.9" rear.

The rear is supposed to sit higher than the front.

Yea there table is way messed up. Maybe the ment the front is 2.9" and the rear is 2". They put the drop in the spring rate column.

Maybe if I drove an SRT-4 Neon.

If I lowered just the rear about 1" it would level the car.
So maybe its a typo, but it still wouldnt be bad if it was 2 in the front and 2.9 in the rear. That way it would level the car. Either way, Im glad to see that I am going to have options other than just TRD.

the back of the XB does sit higher than the front. so the 2.9 in the rear will make it level. my car dopped with the custom TRD Springs 2 inch all around the rear is still sitting higer than the front.

Troys XB "Five Axis" Has the prototype of the tein springs.

well if the h-techs go any lower you would be too low. why would they make h-techs that can go as low as the old s-techs. just buy the s-techs.

H-Techs are not lower than S-Techs. The H-tech is supposed to me a softer spring and not as low a drop as the S-Techs...

bBlover is saying they need to come out with the H techs for the people who want Teins but don't want a huge drop as generally the S-Techs are...
