Question Tein S Tech 2012 tC

Hello fellow tC drivers!

After two years of owning my Scion, i've decided I want to lower it a bit. I was looking around and the Tein S Tech's are the ones I am going with.

Although they look good once installed, but does anyone know how they ride? Will I need new shocks as well? I also might add a camber kit in the future.

If anyone could give me some feedback about these springs, i'd really appreciate it.

If you've every been lowered before, then you know what to expect. These springs have a pretty good ride quality for what they are and how low they go. If you haven't been lowered before, then I'll tell you, you'll notice just a hint of loss in ride quality opposed to stock springs, but that's the price you pay to look good. I really recommend them. You don't need new shocks at all. You won't need camber at all.

Thank you buddy. I really appreciate the feedback. I had heard rumors that springs in general are a really bouncy ride. but i also heard that these S techs are the best springs to go with, so i just wanted to make sure.

I'll be ordering some this month!
