Tein Owner!! I need opinions!

[Jliao]

I'm considering buying a set of Tein Spring or Mazdaspeed (1' drop). Though, I like to know how much of comfort am I going to lose compare to stock? or should I save the money and buy a set of suspension with spring??
Any other opinions are welcome~

Also, I lost the site that sale mazdaspeed spring, does anybody still have it?

Thanks!!

P.S. I did a search, but coudln't find the exact answer I'm looking for. :/

A friend of mine has just the tein springs on his wrx and the ride is fine. If i were in your shoes i'd just save up a "few" more dollars for the ss coilovers.

I think you can get the springs at www.corksport.com

www.ebay.com is the cheapest for tein stech. u can instant buy them for like 150$ or something. i have them and the ride isnt as stiff as stock springs. mazdaspeed springs (i have been told by mazda) doesnt drop your ride noticably and it only makes your springs more stiff. well good luck to you. peace - chris

Thanks for the replies! I'm greatly appreciated.

Also, this may sound dumb. But, what's the difference between coilover and spring? I thought they were the same thing.

haha. remove that now! b4 u get flamed! haha. coilovers - you are able to adjust the spring height, so u can slam your car or raise it anytime u want. spring - once your drop it, there is no changing in height there after. also, if u get the tein coils and suspension in one, u can adjust the damper rate and the ride (stiff/soft). hope that helps. anyone, please correct me if im wrong. thanks! peace - chris

A nice set of coilovers is designed to work together from the factory. The other nice thing with the coilovers is you can corner weigh your car.
