i have recently installed some coilover sleeves with kyp gr2 shocks, im happy with the shocks, but the sleeves are just 2 harsh (there good on one side of town where theres no pot holes, then off to work and its hell) so i was thinking about buying some tein s tech lowering springs, will these give me a softer ride, and will they be okay with the gr2's if any one has any better sutups im listening, just im keeping my shocks

 

Interesting, that's close to what I was gonna go with. I have tein springs now, and new OEM struts, they are VERY soft compared to coil-over sleeves. Plus, my ride still sits low, but feels very "driveable". I'm probably gonna replace my OEM struts with some AGX's, since they're adjustable.

 

Well I recently bought a set of S. techs to replace coil over sleeves... Man those coil overs ARE harsh! I wish I could give u a comparison on how these ride, but Im still waiting on parts to finish the susp before I can drive it... But the height does look nice... The rears do sit lower than the fronts for some reason... Hopefully they just need to settle... But from doing some reading, these are possible the best springs for daily driven cars... Remaining a decent amount of performance, while maintaining a like stock comfort... So if you daily drive, your car, and just want comform, decent drop, and decent performance, get the S. Techs... But if u want a slammed look, and superb handling, you may want something else...

One thing I do want to point out tho... I found this out after I already bought mine and was worried... But luckily mine were genuine... But take a look at this page:

There are counterfeits out there so becareful!

 

I just got done putting on a Tokico Illumina / Tein S-Tech combo. I still need to bolt up the rear LCAs and put the wheels on. The crap that I took off was a no-name coilover set with no-name shocks. The ride was verrry rough. I've got front and rear stabilizers on the shock towers so that probably doesn't help either.

I need to get an alighnment and should have it back on the road in a few days so I'll let you know how it rides.

I drove a bone stock CRX for 15 years so I should be able to give you a pretty fair judgement.

 

so you got yours from ebay??..and if so did the ad look like one of these?

I ordered mine from the second guy... kurumamotoring, he sells GENUINE Tein springs! I confirmed it myself... :thumbup:

 

I got mine from eBay from this seller: akaspeed2003. His are the real deal too. I got lucky though 'cause I didn't know about the fakes. As soon as I read this thread, I went and checked mine out!

I couldn't wait for the alignment and took it out for a spin. Aside from the slight shaking in the front end (?) the ride seems much better than before but it's still a little stiffer than stock.
