In late March/early April I bought some brand new Tein S-Techs from a sponsor. I did alot of research, read many reviews, liked the pics of the springs on the TC. 3 weeks ago I put them on my car. They are not as slammed as everyone elses!!!!!! Don't get me wrong, the car still looks 100x better then stock but I was expecting some tuckage!! WTH Tein? Did I get a bad set? I believe that 3 weeks is enough time to settle. I knew I should have bought the Racelands. Sorry for the rant, but to anyone expecting a slammed look with S-techs look elsewhere! I'm sick of seeing people with sportlines that look lower .


P.s. Family Guy is awesome!!! Ok Im done.

 

hey bro ummm.....i was talk to a few friend it seems the new batches of stech don't sit as low as the old batches i could be wrong in this but this is what seems to be going on...i got stech as well and compared to stock springs........big difference but i felt like it could have gone lower but i'm happy right now put some pics up let me see

 

x2 i have a set of the older made batches on my car. BUT i hope you werent expecting tucking cause taht sure ashell wasnt gonna happen with stechs, old batch or not..



uneven road

 

blah nvm i can't the picture up

 

If you wanted to tuck you should have saved your money and went with coils..

 

 

idk how new my stechs were since i got em used, but theres barely any (less than an inch) wheel gap between the fender and tire (stock rims n tires).... thass pretty much where it should sit... if u want to get the tuck look then get fatter tires? idk

 

"Slammed" tC's, even with stock wheels on lowering springs look like garbage. Get air bags or coilovers if you want to be SLAMMED.

 

stechs arent slammed. idk why OP even thought in the least they would be

 

i had the same problem with you ONLY for the rears and i believe it was because of the bump stops. (i might be wrong). But the overall drop of s-techs is the lowest out there in the market and looks very good. Like the others said, if you want to be SLAMMED, you shouldn't have gotten s-techs. I don't know how you define "slammed," but if your definition of slammed is no wheel gap, save your money as of right now, sell those s-techs, and get coilovers.

 

Yea Stechs dont tuck. You got some bad info. Some people get tuckage after being on them for a year but if you wanted some tuck, save for coils.

 

i never though s.techs where low...

 

sprint springs FTW, pretty close to raceland coilovers maxed out

 

wait til your struts blow it might look slammed after that, i always thought coilovers were required for slamming. how do u slam springs? cut a ring out? o well imo dont slam it

 

LOL. No. They're not low. Only YOUR Racelands are low.

Anyway. You have three options: Save for a good set of coilovers. Sell your springs that are half the price of Racelands, then get stuck dealing with numerous issues. Or keep what you have and get bigger wheels/tires.

I think Sprint springs lower -1.75" front and rear. S-Techs go lower.

 

i think more research and reading would of helped,

s techs= low
coilovers=slammed

 

the first set they made where 2.6" front and rear but only very few where made, the ones they currently make are 1.75" front and rear. i haven't taken any current pics of my car but i'll look through some pics

 

here's when i gave them to UYLES until he got coilovers and i got the sprints back since i'm not on my home computer to look at pics of my car on the sprints but you get the idea.

 

here's another one of his pics but i think he has the raceland coils in this pic but the front is slightly higher and the rear slightly lower to even out the car

 

the only car that ever suddenly looks slammed on stechs is flintmica2005's, but only in SOME pics lol. If you're on a budget racelands are the way to go.
