Springsss!!

Wat's up every 1, I was reading up on the Tein S Tech and High Tech springs and i like that the the Teins had a drop more in the front then the back so it wouldnt look stupid that the front is higher than the back... I was wonderin people's opinions on springs for the Sedan. Eibach i heard was pretty good and saw it. Tanabe, Tein S and high Tech? Any others people have seen driven or heard about?? I like the fact the S Tech drops front more than back but its almost a 2 inch drop and the High Tech does the same but it seems its not enough of a drop lol I'll never win.. Just looking for a recommendation of springs for my G35 Sedan w/Sports Package thanks alot iLL

Wat'ssss Realllyyyy Goooodddd!!!!!<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small"><EM>Edited by iLLG35 on 01/16/04 09:40 AM.</EM></FONT></P>

Re: Springsss!!

I personally have the TEIN S-Tech's on my Coupe and I love them. They are just the perfect drop and the ride is still very good quality. I'm not sure how it is on the Sedan however, but I would believe it's comparable since TEIN makes a great product overall.

Re: Springsss!!

Are the Eiback or Tein springs better? Why does Eiback cost so much more?

Re: Springsss!!

Eibach springs are stiffer. They are generally more expensive because of the company - their product in general is a more expensive line. Quality are comparable, I personally prefer the TEINs for a softer and more comfortable ride.

Re: Springsss!!

What about the Tein High.Tech Coil Springs? I read that these spings provide a better ride, yet add performance. The drop is a 0.6 inch drop in front and a 0.3 inch drop in back. Are these any good?

They seem to be more expensive than the TEIN S.Tech Coil Springs which offer a more "sportier" appearance be giving a 1.2 inch front drop and a 0.9 inch back drop.

There are also TANABE GF - NF - DF 210 Springs that give a 1 1/24 to 1 1/2in (30-40mm) drop. They are priced between the Tein High Tech Coils and the Eibach Pro Springs. Are these any good?

Btw, the Eibach lowers the car 1.1 inch in the front and 1.0 inch in the back.

Re: Springsss!!

I have the tanabe, the ride is spectacular and the drop is very suttle and makes the car look great.

Re: Springsss!!

just installed to S Techs on my Sedan and the drop is clean and so far the ride is a little stiffer as suspected but almost stock.
