Default Tein S-Tech Stylish Spec (Dress Up Master) Springs any good?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TEIN-...QQcmdZViewItem

Anyone lowered on those? What do you think? I searched but couldn't find anything that was helpful to me.

I just want a nice drop, I don't autoX or do any type of racing. I take some corners a bit harder than I should, but nothing severe. I'll be on stock shocks. Thanks all!

Well I'm looking for reviews on the springs themselves. I'll end up buying them from somewhere else.

I'm looking for info on ride quality, and the amount it lowers.

forums>classifieds>sponsored sales

heres your links
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=96198

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=138350

those 2 guys will answer every question you could possibly ever think of i know i did

i used this
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/search.php

and type in tein and in the drop down selected sponsored sales and got 27 results

not being rude but theres a wealth of info on here you just have to have patience and use general terms like "tien" or "stech and ride quality" then use the drop downs to narrow your search to tcs or suspension and handling

***edit***

btw if your just looking for info on the actual springs themselves look no further than the manufacturer here:

^uncalled for. that's not how scionlife is. yes he should've tried to search a little harder seeing as there's alot of topics on this subject, but you don't go and call him derogatory names because of it.


anyways, I personally run the stech's and I wouldn't run anything else besides a set of coilovers. I bought the springs purely for looks, and they give the best stance out of all the springs available, imo anyways. the ride is a little harsher than stock, but i attribute that to my swaybars.

i dont disagree with you, but it's still not right to call people names. instead, run a search for him, find the topics he needs, and tell him how you found those topics.

calling him a name accomplishes nothing

Hey i just installed s-techs w/ trd struts a week ago and the ride is a little harsh but only on the big bumps... honestly i would rate the bumps a 5 because they are still very comfortable. I also have the hotchkis sways and my car does not lean at all in any corner. i have about 1 finger of gap in front, 1.5 finger gap in back, possibly the cleanest drop i have ever seen. I have about 4.5 inches of clearance in front and lots in back, but i still have yet to scrape anywhere. I love the ride, its not too harsh, probably about same as stock, but ah i love it. i would reccommend it to anyone. I will be posting up pictures soon of the drop. oh and make sure to save money for rear camber links as you will have about -2.9 degree camber in the rear after the drop w/out stock adjustment, and if you adjust them all the way, you will have about -1.2 degree camber in the rear, but you should still get new camber links. If you have anymore questions just post them here, i will look to see if i can answer them... but make sure to buy the s-techs, they are clearly the best drop... good luck!

What is the width of the rim? I dont know the offset on the Stock RS 1 rims. I knoe they are 18x7.5 and I dont have any problems with them rubbing.

I had a friend with 18x9 with a 38et staggered rims with a 2inch lip rolling on H-Techs. The car needed a minor fender roll but didnt have any problems
