Default Tien S-Tech...

thumbs up. not as stiff as i hoped but they handle better than stock and still ride like stock.


The only problem i have with this is the rear, why is the rear suspension so soft with two people in the back seat the wheels tuck a little, with three in the back i need to roll the fneders wtf. they did this with stock suspension too. why cant they be smart and stiffen up the rear??

im gunna get some new struts next..

nope... tein H-tech is less firm all around - but not as low, so it might not sag as low, but just as much.
but i agree the S-tech sag is kinda ridiculous... i'm lucky my rear wheels tuck. just sucks that it only looks good if you don't have any passengers.

do all other lowering springs do this?

i had a b18b and b16a2 honda motors in the back driving from hanford to stockton with tein s tech and had no problem...just to let u know there was over 800lbs of motors in the back and the top of the tire was just about even with the bottom edge of the fender...running 18's
