I just ordered the Tein S Techs from The Performance Driver.com...$168 shipped! Thats the best price I could find after shopping around online for an hour, what you guys think? Good deal or fair deal? Can't wait for the 2" drop. :D

 

That's about what they were going for when I was deciding on them or tanabes the other day

 

That sounds about the best I've seen for them shipped. Enjoy! I paid about 150 for my Hotchkis springs shipped a year ago.

 

What kind of drop did you get with the hotchkis? Did they improve your ride? Thanks

 

1.5 drop and springs don't really do anything to improve the ride. It was still rough till I added the 5987 Monroe shocks.

 

I guess i lucked out....I got mine for $145 at my local shop....SMA...Sacramento Motoring Accessories...I put them in last week, easy install...the handling is great!

I also bought a set of Monroes at rock auto .com.....$70 w/shipping but I did not put them in yet...I wanted to wait about a week just to tell how much of a difference they'll make....

Anyway...I love my S-Techs.....!

 

I've heard good things about the 5987 monroes, let me know what you think when you install them, thanks

 

jgonzalvo , no need to wait, the shocks make all the difference in ride quality. Mine rode the exact way even after the spring change.

 

thx for the info bB, I'm ordering the monroes soon, then I'll install the s techs and shocks at the same time.

 

No Problem!

 

I put these shocks on mine and love'em. They are worth the money

 

After the springs and shocks go in i'm leaning toward a progress tech rear anti-sway bar, after reading pages and pages of posts it seems the progress tech is the most popular.

 

I definitely let you know when I install them...most likely this weekend....

 

cool...! now i'm hyped! earliest i'll be able to get them in is this weekend....

 

The Progress and TRD rear bars are almost identical so it comes down to which one you can find the cheapest. I did the Whiteline one and like it too but has a different style design but it does the same job.

 

Progress Rear Sway Bars are now down to $116 at autosportstyle dot com.

 

If you put S techs on your car, do you have to upgrade your Front Struts? I am under the impression that lower rated springs will wear your struts out faster, any truth to that?
