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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
