So I finally got around to putting on my Tein S-Tech's. Here is some photos for comparison to stock height. Oh yea I have my winter tires on so the rim's are 14's. The differance is still very noticable.


Stock Height. Look at all that wheel gap!!!



And Now on the Tein's


Rear before drop


Rear after drop


Front before drop


Front after drop

I know the springs will settle more so hopefully it will get just a little lower, but overall I think this is a great mod for all boxes.

 

I keep going back and forth on dropping the box. I like the look, no doubt, but there are some advantages to the additional suspension travel. Hopefully I'll make my mind up by spring. Either way, looks pretty sweet.

 

Are those tires also smaller diameter than stock? Looks like a lot of wheel well gap. Does look much better lowered. I'm not lowering mine- don't want to scrape on steep driveways or bottom out in the snow. Had our first real accumulation about 1 1/2 weeks ago and my stock height xB high centered and scraped a few times.

 

I doubt those are much smaller overall diameter. The box shows a big gap at stock suspension height They all need to be near 2" lower imo.

 

It looks good, 2" is too much for me, especially in my area, we have some less than stellar roads and nasty winters. I agree that the boxes really need a bit of a drop though.

 

looks better. my dealer is instaling the 2" drop TRD sprongs on the one i ordered. is there any difference between the TRD springs and the TEIN springs?

 

I don't think the TRD springs are a 2" Drop, I thought they were less of a drop. Any yes Stew32 as I posted the tires are 14's due to the snow we have here in Germany.

 

trd's are is an one inch drop...

 

looks good

 

drop it another inch or two.

 

Make it this low. Im on TEIN S-Techs in the rear and a secret in the front...

 

what size rims and tires do you have on that silver box?

 

your car still looks pretty high, but i'm sure it will settle. big improvement though.

 

In that pic Im rockin some Sportmax 002s 15x8 w/ 0ET. I think the tires were 195/55/15. I dont remember to be honest. They were only on the car that one day. Now I run Rota Sub-Zeros now 16x7.5 40ET and 225/40/16 tires in the rear with 205/45/16 tires in the front....

 

Its my wifes car.. So Making it lower would probably take a toll on the car..But yea it is a huge inprovement. I have some 17's wrapped with eagle F1s. I'm just waiting for the winter to end!

 

Great comparison before and afters! How does it ride compared to stock? I just bought my box and the wife might flip if I make it ride too stiff. I was trying to choose between the tanabe and the teins. I have owned the Tanabe on a Del Sol and was happy with the ride. Thanks for any info you have!

 

Ride is not too bad. its a little rougher than the stock springs but it is so minimal my wife cant even tell the differance. I have to say it got ride of a lot of body roll, and handles fast corners a lot better. I would recommend tein any day of the week.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

damn some rims would set it off.. keep it up
