Tien S-Techs on a P5 (installed w/ pics)

[E.NoE]

I just got my car back from the shop a few min ago and snapped some pics. i stopped in the dealership to compare side by side with a new stock p5. The ride is awesome....so far. NO problems with noise, rubbing ect. The shop said it was a pain in the ass to install. They had to totally remove the real caliper to get to the spring. In the front they had to take off a bunch of extra stuff. All in all it took them 4 hrs to do it. They fixed my broken exhaust hangar too. $200 for the springs and $230 for the install. I know the install is a little pricey but it did take 4 hours and if anything ever goes wrong i can go back and get it fixed for free. The shop is less than a mile from my house. They deal mostly with WRX STi adn the evo there...but they like my little N/A wagon. I love em...no bouncy ride at all and great handling. Ive been driving for the last two hours around town. The Tien S-Techs are strongly recommended. Here are some pics.

Well first of all i find the pics a bit to big..
but the Tein springs supply a great drop...supply a better side shot..
Good choice

not to flame but I don't see the drop, and what happened to your grill? Then again, I didn't see hurricanep5's drop either, and he got gc coils, which are supposed to be some of the best coils for p5.

I also have the Stech's. They're awesome. The P5 already has such an agressive look stock that the drop makes it look even better. Only thing I don't really love is that the drop in the back is more than in the front. Alas, it's the fault of the wagon style.

Overall, my favourite mod.
