Default Review: "Tein S-tech springs" lots of pics!

Got my Tein S-tech springs installed yesterday. I would have to say that the install we pretty easy I got it done by Creavtive Compacts took about 2 hours. I got the springs done on my stock shocks and have to say it ride very well. Stiff but not bouncy. Overall I have to say its really nice.

Don't quite understand the logic here but to each his own. Springs won't void your warranty. It is the dealership's responsibilty to prove that the installation of the product or the product itself is the cause of whatever problem you are having. So sack up and do it if you want to.
