Default S-techs not good for my car?

Some peeps on another forum think the s-techs aren't good and think i wasted my money. I've done research and asked around and even called Tein myself. The only downside that i am looking at is that my struts will eventually go to shiet, but i'm not worried about that because i will prolly end up getting some AGXs. Why would these haters tell me they are not good springs?:fawk: :thumbup:

Spring rates maybe?
I know that Tein coil overs had rusting problems, not sure if it was fixed and if it applies to the springs.

Those spring rates are barely above stock. I run 450/350 and love it. It actually corners. I''d keep looking for something athw oudl be an improvement over stock.

Tein S-tech = Tein Stylish Tech.


the stech springs were meant more for looks than performance. very low spring rates while acheiving the agressive look. if you want performance springs...look into H/R and/or Neuspeed.

i was about to say the same thing (because it was you who told me about the stylish tech thing and the pronunciation of "tein" in one of my old threads)
