Just picked up some TEIN springs to lower my kord.
Currently I have KYB struts ( grey ones ) with H&R O.E springs .75f .50r

These TEIN springs are 1.4f 1.3r.

can KYB's handle is drop? I know they warranty only holds up to 1.5in drop.
Should I just get better struts. Seems like im cutting it close.
Ill spend the money if i should at this point if Its NOT RECOMMENDED that I use these TEIN springs.

 

btw...thanks for all the hits yet no response. :down:

 

Thats a nice set up i got teins and tociko illuminas on my rides like stock... btw is the springs tein s-tech one? thats wut i put on my car

 

they should be able to handle the springs


hell if my stock struts could handle neuspeed sports which are 1.8/1.7 drop for 50k miles then i think the kyb's can handle a small drop like the teins

 

Wel, my car is 12 years old already. Since I am going to work on the springs anyway maybe it is better to change the shocks too. I am looking for some KYB GR2( I assume those that can be external adjustable are more pricy, right? ). Is it good with Tein S tech spring. Or what it works best with? Any suggestion with shocks and springs combo?

Just saw it on ebay,good deal?
Any one tries this combo before?

 

I'd replace the shocks more on age then degree of drop. If you have 40-50k on the old shock toss them. Even a new A-zone set should do you fine.
