Tein S-Tech Springs w/ Stock Struts

[Jethro_TDot]

I'm getting the springs within days now. I'm really concern about
the struts. Is it worth changing it now than later? I dont want to
do any double work where I could change the struts now.

I am now sitting on 63,000 kms which is over 40 000 miles.
Change it or wait? If I should wait, at what KMs?

Also, if i do change the springs or struts, do I need to get the
wheel aligned? or camber?

Thanks
Jeff

run them till they blow, then get new ones.

or u could buy them at the same time and save money on alignment by only needing to get it done once...

Thanks for the replies guys....which struts do you think I should use with the Tein? I am looking at the Tokico HP struts....is this any good?
The cheapest I could find is 336+Shipping. If anyone knows where I could
find a cheaper, please tell me.

Thanks

it probably doesn't matter but when I talked to one of the guys over at tein they told me that the s-techs were designed to work at their best with oem struts and that going with an after market strut could hinder the performance of the spring

That's a damn good price for a set of HPs. I have them with an Eiback Prokit and love them.

I have Tein S-tech on stock kyb struts. When they blow, I will get Tokico Illumna struts. Expensive struts, but damn worth the price.
