I'm at a loss here because the Tein website doesn't say a heck of a lot. Does anyone know what the most obvious difference is between these two springs. They're the same price and have similar specs, so if anyone knows, I'm eager to find out.

Also, I'm not sure if these are progressive rate springs, and the website doesn't indicate that either.

I have an xA, and I only want minimal drop. My goal is better handling for this bouncy little car.

Anyone??

 

Tein S-Tech are generally Linier Front and Progressive rear in most cases...

Tein H-Tech are genearlly progressive front and rear...

The S-Tech's have a shorter spring stroke making for less body roll and lean while not being to aggressive of a spring rate and usually smoothens up the ride while keeping it more responsive...

The H-Tech's generally have a slightly longer spring stroke which keeps the ride smoother but can add or will alow for as much body roll and lean as the stock springs... while making for a more luxury smooth ride...

 

Thanks for the info. Can you tell me where you read this?

I thought maybe you had a good link to TEIN springs.

You said that the TEIN S. Tech would "smoothen" up the ride, while improving responsiveness. That sounds great, but I'm worried the ride might be too stiff, and might turn the already bouncy xA into a lil leapfrog on the freeway. I cringe when I see those guys in their pogo-ing Honda Civics w/their ladies bouncing uncomfortably next to them.

So, it sounds like the S. Tech is the way to go unless one is seeking a Cadillac type ride, and I definitely do not want that.

Thanks Nismo.

 

Im a Tein Dealer... just something ive found from putting them on a whole bunch of different cars
