Tein s-techs
 
ive bein wanting to drop my car but dont have the $1,000 dollars to get coils, so i was looking at the tein s techs and wondering if i will be fine with my stock struts and shocks?

With the S-techs, you're going to have a bit of a bumpier, rougher ride for sure (compared to H-techs or TRDs).

It is not much worse than stock to be honest. I am on S-techs and I do not have any complaints.

Same here, I've been looking at springs and I'm between Ebaich Sportline and Teins Stech. They're basically the same price on fastscions.com.
If anyone is lowered with Sportline or Stechs can you guys post pictures of your car? and do you have a camber problem?

Diffraction 01-02-2013 12:25 AM

camber problem will apply to all springs. i just bought stechs off autoanything.com. they have a 15% off sale that ends today. Free shipping too. it was 190 something after tax.

Hayes 01-02-2013 05:46 AM

Autoanything.com had a great price for S-techs on my xB2. I paid 183 shipped to my door. Google for their checkout code to save some money. They were here in 2 days.

Bamplaya32 01-02-2013 07:19 AM

Did your buddy end up shipping them back and getting the correct ones?
Or how did that problem get fixed?

Bamplaya32 01-02-2013 08:54 AM

From what he told me he shipped them back but don't know if they sent him the right ones ... Haven't heard from him since Christmas.

Yea man me too just wana avoid the hassle you know lol I like to get my stuff shipped right without the headache.

Hayes 01-02-2013 04:28 PM

They are a google trusted store, so have your buddy contact them. If they don't make it right, contact google.

I read lots of reviews, and I didn't read a bad one, so I'm a little surprised.

Anyway, they are running a 15% off end of year blowout right now.

kenguyen 01-02-2013 10:23 PM

I read on the Tein site about counterfeit stechs.
Autoanything.com should have legit stechs right?

Just ordered from autoanything.com for $180 free shipping&notax.

kenguyen 01-02-2013 11:11 PM

How long would the stechs last or any other springs?
I use it mostly to drive about 30miles on weekdays during school season.

Eta should be friday or monday. And install will most likely be next weekend

I can't imagine a google trusted company (google puts a lot of effort into their approvals) having counterfeit parts. I am going to figure out how to tell, but I got Tein decal, Tein box, and very legit looking instructions.

Tein site says that the springs were made to go with oem shocks and struts.
Seems most people have going with stock shocks&struts so I think it should be no problem.

If you go to tein.com/counterfeit/
It has all you need to know there

Hayes 01-03-2013 01:12 AM

I read all that and will check the box when I get home. I am trying to get my wife to send me pictures so I can look at them. Tein also said it was ebay stores that have been the culprit. I will keep you updated when I get to the pictures or home.
