Anyone have any real info on the Tein H-Tech springs for our '07+ sedans? I've heard word of mouth through a few people here and there but can't find any real direct info on these springs for our cars. Tein's site doesn't specifically show an '07/'08 sedan application, yet I've heard from several peeps they're selling them but I'm getting differing reports on drop amounts. I've heard in the .7 - 1 inch drop front and rear....

Any info is appreciated.

 

I'm thinking they just carried over the 06 part numbers as I can't find anything.

Found this picture of an 07 G using 03-06 Tein H-Techs:

From this, maybe we can get a better idea of how much drop actually exists. Looks to be a smidge less than the Eibach or H&R, tho awfully close to the Eibach in the back and less in the front.

 

I have the Tanabe springs currently and was thinking of switching to the Teins, but after looking at these together, not sure.

Honestly, I'm a little worried about my rear tires, as they're just about flush with the rear fender, might even poke out a mill or two. On Crespo's car, his rears are tucked inside, where mine aren't. So, I'm afraid to drop a whole lot due to the fender, not too mention how bad our roads are here.

You can see my rear tires in the attached pics:

I should mention, the suspension has settled even more in the back in the last few days, I can get about a finger and a half in the rear fender now.

 

I like the H&R drop the most. All the other ones I've seen leave too much gap in the front compared to the rear.

 

i think the eibachs look good, the HR looks like a nice even drop, but it's too low for me, especially where i live. and is it just me or the H techs seem to have the front higher than the back (i don't want the sagging rear look) Guess we're going to have to find our how much air ride is going to cost.... Any one got quoted on a air suspension set up? was it bags, or rods. What brand and how much? with/without installation? PM me if you don't want to post it, i just want to get a rough estimate, b/c in a month i should have enough money to do some serious mods....

 

I'm getting the impression that everyone thinks the rear is lower than the front?

It might be an optical illusion because isn't the rear fender cutout for the wheel smaller than the front?

I'll have to measure to be sure

 

i dont know about ya'll but i want some really nice Tein Coilovers, not just springs.

 

if the springs from the 03+ sedan work on our car, would the coil overs work also? that way, even though it wouldn't drop the cars the same height, we can adjust to make up for that

 

If the 03+ coilovers fit, then there are some Bilstein coilover fronts I'd put on my car.
