Lowering Springs, TRD Lowered Springs or Tein S Tech Options

[Red123]

Hello guys.
What would you recommend me for lowering the car? TRD or Tein Springs? or any other brand?
What's your opinions?

Thanks

Its up to you I deal with suspension ugprades almost all the time. I know how all of them feel, all my friends who had Teins, none of them were happy, in fact none of them run Teins anymore. I guess maybe the ones you rode on were all 1" drop not 2"-4". Teins coilovers cant drop a car low enough either which is junk, you might as well get drop springs.

At the same time you only have the Tein springs, so I guess you wouldnt even know how any of their coilovers feel. Lowering springs still have full diameter coils in them which still make them somewhat comfy, Lowering springs are still made like stock springs just different spring rates or less coils.

Megan/BC/Ksport/all other brands made from the china parts bin which are made for US market have more full adjustability and complete assy while Teins have way less adjustability, soft spring rates, soft damper, not always a complete assy, reassemble/reassemble, reuse stock components. so you can spend the same money and still get a crappier product just so you can say yours is Made In Japan, i dont think thats a great sacrifice. After installing, riding, on all those f-en cars that had em, they are crap suspension. I threw away 1000+ dollars just like that when I bought them. if anyone has ridden on cut ass springs on crap shocks or junky coil sleeves and junk shocks, thats exactly how it felt. I felt like my car was freakin broken when I drove it. It was freeakin bouncy as hell. When i first put it on and picked up my friend who had a higher end tein coilover in the past, he goes whoah your suspension is crazy, let me guess, Teins? thats another proof. 1 friend had to lift his up because it could not handle any bumps, another friend dropped it even more cus he wants to blow it faster so he can get something else, another friend sold his car cus it irritated him, my other friend, burned his highend tein coilovers, another friend bottoms out on minor bumps on the road, another friend who is a hardcore autocrosser told me I would never get Tein, and another hardcore mechanic friend told me too. and each one of us work on our own cars, we dont help each other, so we have our own experiences, our own customers. and remember all these fools were running the stiffest setting they could run, mine felt better at only halfway. It was crazy when I brought up my experience with them and I was like hey howcome teins feel crazy, each one of them, 1 on 1 told me they are crap. None of my friends who had teins knew each other all from different groups, i just knew each one of them so those were all independent experiences. Like I said Teins are built for Japan roads not U.S. Just like anyone else, i'd love to always keep Japan parts on my list, you can check my long parts list on my profile, but not with Teins, I refuse....everyone falls for the made in japan and cute character marketing. I guess its really up to you why dont you spend the 1000+ and try it out and let us know if you can even find them anymore, or get it for another car.
