I liked my S-Tech's ride, but then again, I'm on Tokico HPs as well.

does it absorb bumps like the stock and does it feel like stock?

They're defintely stiffer than OEM, but in a good way. It is a lot more forgiving of the progressive rates that are wound into the Teins than worn OEM struts, which would likely blow prematurely due to the Teins being more aggressively rated than the stock coils.

Teins to me felt almost stock.. but I know they were a little stiffer.. so you don't get the boat like ride the stock springs did..

If you do just springs do the struts too. shell out the extra $300 bucks and do it all at once..

it makes a big diff.

I have teins with stock shocks.

They feel like stock ride but a lil firmer.

If u think ur shocks are in good shape, go ahead and go stock.

are the eibachs progressive springs like the teins?

They are, but they'd likely be a less sporty, more OEMish feel. I wish I could tell you, but my current suspension setup is a hybrid of the two you're asking about:Teins up front, Eibachs out back.

sounds dangerous! is this a problem that is likely to happen or a rare occurence? i picked up some springs but my stock struts still seem okay so I was plannin on putting the springs over the struts till they're worn. bad idea?

mostly everyone is recommending eibach on tokico shocks...how about Tein S-techs on Tokico?

if you want a raked stance, go with TEIN.

if you want an even drop, go with Eibach

Eibach gets my vote! Tein are generally too soft for me.

if you want an even drop, be OCD like Krispy and buy Teins, buy Gold-Line & Eibach rears in search of the best possible rear lowering, and sell the Tein rears to try and curb the costs

fixed, lol :drinking:

My teins settled pretty even. Just remember that if you have a system in the back it will lower your back a little bit more.

BTW im running Teins and GR2s

yeh i got mine on teins too but i changed the struts too so it feels like stock the ride is really smooth if ur struts are in good shape go for it
