Tein S-Tech's for 2000 4 cyl.

Postby 00SOLARASE » Tue Apr 15, 2008 3:30 pm

Hi Guys, Alright I have done a million searches on this and cannot find any information . I have been talking to a guy at Import Replacement Parts about a set of KYB GR-2's and I had asked him if they carried Tein S-Techs for my 2000 4 cyl. as well, he sent me a link with the applications which only list the 6 cyl. I am almost possitive that they work for either the 6 cyl. or 4 cyl. but I just wanted to confirm that with you guys. So if anyone who is using the Tein S-Tech's on thier 99-01 4 cyl. please let me know so I will be sure I am ordering the right springs. Thanks a lot guys!

the 6 cylinder ones will not drop as low in the front because the motor is lighter. Make sure you get the right ones for your application. The springs will physically fit, but the drop will not be the same.

Does anyone know if they make Tein S-Tech's for the 4 cyl. application? I cannot find it listed anywhere. Is anyone here with a 4 cyl. using the Teins S-Tech's? If not does anyone know of a good substitute? I am hoping to go with the Tein S-Tech's because of the even drop the Tein's give at the front and back. Thanks.

There's no S. Tech for the Gen 1/1.5 4 cylinders. Technically, there WOULD be a difference in spring rate assuming they made one for each one of the 4 cylinders, but it doesn't hurt to have stiffer rates up front.

I need to take pictures...the difference is really quite minimal (to me anyway), I don't remember stock height, but I know that right now my rear is 1" and front is 1.5" give or take a few bad suspension components...argh...

If you're one of those folks that are truly anal about the ride height looking even then buy some coilovers. Spend some time adjusting and call it a day.

If no one has used the Tein S-Tech (part #SKL16-AUB00) on a 99-01 4 cyl. does anyone have any photos of the Eibach Pro Kit on this applcation? I am trying to find out how noticable the gaps would be if I either bought the Tein S-Tech's (6 cyl. Application) or went with the Eibach's. It also seems strange to me that the Eibach Pro Kit (part #8258.140) lists the application for 1999-2003 4cyl. & 6 cyl. but the Tein S-Tech's (part #SKL16-AUB00) only list the 6 cyl. Any info would really help me out!! I just want to get as level a drop as possible to compensate for the larger stock gap in the front than the rear. Any photos of the Tein's or Eibach's on the 4 cyl. (99-03) would be great. Thanks a lot guys.
