I installed the TRD springs and needed no alignment. The ride quality is still feels outstanding to me. I would recomend the TRD spings. Good luck!!

Depending on the springs you go with the ride will be better. I'm guessing you are asking about a alignment. I got one after I switched to Tein H-Techs just to make sure everything was still right.

Anything more than 1.5'' it would be a good idea to have your alignment checked. As far as a better ride goes, it depends on if you want better as in smoother, or better as in handling. The lower you go, generally speaking the "rougher" it will be.

However, IMO the best performance spring out there for us right now is the Tanabe DF210s...

If you want a more comfortable ride, i'd recommend Tein H-Techs.

any suspension mod requires a 4 wheel alignment

Agreed.

I like the STechs, the ride can get a bit bouncy on some of those gaps on the freeway but great ride and great looks =)

here's a bit of a comparo, the white one (mine) on stechs, and my buddy's TCM on htechs


go tein!

my car doesn't veer any which way after spring install and my wheel doesn't vibrate at any speeds.

does this mean no alignment needed?

FYI, anytime you disassemble a suspension, it's always a good idea to have the vehicle re-aligned!
