Tien S techs

[Silverspeed2015]

how many people are running tien s techs on stock msp struts? does it have the higher back end, because i see some cars with them that sit nice but others look like the back end sits higher than the stock rear

if you have stock struts, you'll be raked as s***. this is due to the higher spring perch on the oem tokicos.

well right now my back sits a lower than my front, i can fit like 2 fingers in back and 2 1/2 in front. recommendations with what springs would give nice even drop?

You have half a finger? Haha, J/K my car is the same way.

 

[Silverspeed2015]

lol, yeah i do have a half a finger i lost it changing my brakes, jk

Rake is when the back sits higher than the front, correct? because im not really noticing it from pictures i see with the tein springs, but maybe i will go with the road magnet springs, such a hard decision

I have Tein S Techs in the front and stock RBs in the rear. I have the rear Tein springs but I have been lazy to put them in. Here is a pic about a week after installing the front springs. I will eventually put the rear springs in. If you want an even drop, your best bet would be to find a set of Eibach Sportlines but good luck finding those.

i would think about going with sportlines if i can find a set, but i was weary of going with progressive springs, instead of linear

Are you sure it sits lower? Or is the front wheel well just cut lower than the rear?

 

[Silverspeed2015]

thats true, the rear wheel well might hang lower.

It does...A lot. I walked out and looked at mine. Even with a slight rake, the rear wells are cut lower than the front.

thanks rush, yeah your car was one that i was referring to that didn't really looked rake to me. it might just be hard to tell from the picture, but i thought your car looked good with the progress springs on illumina struts, that wouldn't be bad im just not looking to buy struts

 

[Silverspeed2015]

anyone notice a difference with the progressive style springs, Im not trying to deciding on the road magnets and eibach prolines if i can find them

 

[Silverspeed2015]

i think i might go with the ion performance race springs, ill have to save up to spend that much though! they look amazing and maintain the even drop
