i have s-techs and handling is not that bad. i can still go through speed bumps easily w/out scraping. i would rate s-tech 7/10 overall.

Do any of you guys remember how long does it took for your TEIN springs to settle? When I put on my TRD's I got an alignment w/ the install - should I wait a week or just get it the same day as before? I really can't push it past a week because I have a 700mi drive back to school coming up

Thanks I'll think I'll do the same - get an alignment right away - and then one again a few months later.

I am guessing that you have never autox'd it or tracked it then One person I knew ditched the s-techs like hot rocks after one event.

If you are going to tune the setup properly then coilovers are the way to go. If you just want to lower the car, they are a waste of money for the most part.

Yea I agree with that. I just installed S-techs last week and the ride isn't that bad. People keep talking about how terrible the handling is. If you drive the car like its stolen then S-techs are not the springs for you, but as a dd I think there awesome!

S-Techs are the worst springs ever made.
