I know alot of people here have Installed the Tein S Tech Lowering Springs .. I know its a 2" drop but, what do I use for Shocks and Struts? Because If you use the stock shocks and struts They are made for the stock springs and if you put 2" lowering springs on them ,They wont fit correctly? Im guessing if you put the car on a lift with 2" lowering springs, The shocks and struts will extend too far and the 2" lowering springs will have 2" play in them ? What I mean is you can take the spring by hand and move it up and down with nothing in between ? Will the TRD Struts work? Or are they the same as the stock struts just Better materal ?And also Is it a uncomfortable Ride For the Tein S Tech Lowering Springs I mean is it to stiff and if you hit a bump the car hits hard? or too bouncy with the stock struts? Thank you

 

check the sticky in the suspension forum, it should answer most of these questions

 

i got s-techs on stock shocks and everything is fine...i put my car on my buddies lift and there was no play in them...the front springs fit perfect without compressing it but the rear you have to compress to get them on...so when the shock goes all the way out they are stuck in place...

 

i have my s-techs on stock shocks also..works fine

 

You can be the first to try out Tokico's set of struts/shocks. They just came out last week and the only place I found them was on ebay. I also have contacted Tokico and they verified that they've sent out a batch of them out but I don't know who has the first batch.

 

The ride is kinda rough with stechs on stock struts/shocks. Buddy had them on stock struts at first and changed to trd when they blew out. Ride was a thousand times more smooth...
