Tein S-Tech lowering springs for coupe

Has anyone installed the Tein S-Tech lowering springs for the coupe? If so, does anyone have pictures, ride quality, etc.? It is suppose to drop the front 1.2" and rear 0.9". Thanks ahead of time.

Re: Tein S-Tech lowering springs for coupe

that's not much of a drop...would it still cause the cambering issues...basically I'm looking for a drop that will not cause much cambering cause I hate buying tires every 10,000 miles.....

You can adjust front and rear camber after lowering. Just go to an alignment shop. You should do that anyway. However, there are some other issues that may arise.

Sometimes the camber is so far off that it can not be brought back to factory specs...that is what I am talking about.

I'll be installing mine on Monday I'll post some pics later.

If you lower any car camber is automatically affected. The Tein will lower the front by 1.2" front and .9" rear. Camber won't be factory specs, but it can be corrected easily.

Re: Tein S-Tech lowering springs for coupe

which camber kit are you gonna use? I might go the same route as you, cause I am sick of uneven tire wear

Re: Tein S-Tech lowering springs for coupe

I have to see how much off the camber will be. I don't think anyone is offering camber kits for this car yet. I know stillen offers kits for the rears, but I haven't seen one for the front. I will post the results of the camber readings after I get it done.

Re: Tein S-Tech lowering springs for coupe

I'll be installing my springs today we'll find out about the camber issue soon enough. It will take me at least 2 hrs to do this since this will be my G35 spring install. As soon as I'm done I'll shoot over to the alignment and get the readings.

Hey Glenn, what kind of G do you drive?

04 G35 Coupe / Carribean Blue / Prem Pack
