looking for pics of Protege/Tein springs.

[He123321]

I'm ready to add my MSP axleback to my 03', but I need to drop it 1st. I did a search, but found no helpful pics. I will be sporting 205/45/17 tires, and the springs that I saw on ebay will give me a 2.0F 1.4R drop.

Before I buy them, I would like some feedback on the above set-up.

go to like page 74-78 of the third gen photos forum, and there are several with teins there.

I need some too man! Does anyone recomend any other type of spring? Those s-tech's look nice tho, im still shoppin lol.

i like my eibach

 

[DiS]

Eibachs are incredible springs, but the difference between Eibach Pro Kit and Tein S-tech, is Teins will give you a slightly more drop.

Thanks for all the helpful replies, and pics.

Thanks mang. Yea those are stock struts. I had this setup for about 3 years now and my struts are practically blown at this point. Gotta replace them ASAP

ive noticed grass shots=lower stance to the eye.

 

[jeg0024]

yeah, but its just the fact that the gap between the fenders and wheels are gone, ive seen pics of his car not in the grass, it still looks nice.

Pic of my 1999 Protege on Tokico HP's and Tein S-Techs. Has settled a bit since these were taken right after I dropped it.

 

[red95_240sx]

yes i observed the gap too. its still lower than usual, or maybe its the stock wheels.

ur drop is just about the same as mine. i have evotions. im currently saving for s techs but according to this comparison...maybe they will be stiffer.

 

[CantCMe]

What do ya'll think of Tokico HPs?

 

[JCell]

good upgrade over stockers, will make the car feel like a lexus the first time you ride in it

 

[DiS]

What do ya'll think of Tokico HPs?

great upgrade indeed like JCell said. I'm actually in the market for Tokico HP's because my stock struts are pretty much dead right now, heh.

kyb gr-2's and tein s techs

i was wondering if anyone has the kyb gr-2 struts with the tein s tech springs. i have the tein springs and am just waiting to get the struts and wanted to know if that was a good set up or not. i heard that the kyb's are basically just a oem strut basically and i should get an adjustable strut if im lowering my car. thanks.
