How much difference do Tien S-Tech Springs make? (06 Si)

Slow_si · 06-21-2007, 10:33 AM

Just curious, but is it a very noticible difference or would it just look like rice?

slostjoe · 06-21-2007, 11:00 AM

looks like sex ride is allmost unchanged i love it the only thing you might look into if you do this is a camber kit fo sho

Slow_si · 06-21-2007, 11:05 AM

I was just wondering because this may very well be the next upgrade to my car. Thanks.

include the price of a rear camber kit , unless you want to burn your tires out

NIGHTHAWKSI · 06-21-2007, 11:34 AM

i recommend the eibach pro kit for a slightly less of a drop ~1.2" f/r or the sportlines for about the same drop as the tein s-tech springs....the price is about $50 more but i feel you get a better quality part.

alot of people have had complaints with the tein springs tha tthey make creaking/popping or other sounds

but no matter what springs you get...definatly get the camber kit....ebay has the skunk2 for $190 shipped.

slostjoe · 06-21-2007, 11:45 AM

I never purchased a camber kit and i just have about 8200 mi no abnormal tire ware yet

slostjoe · 06-21-2007, 11:46 AM

and i thought that the noise and stuff was only the coilovers not the spring thats my experience anyway

NIGHTHAWKSI · 06-21-2007, 11:53 AM

Nasty popping from the front right on my lowered Si?

Tein S-tech vs. Comptech

yea..i am not saying all of them...but i never want to have to worry about any mods to my car...especially suspension. so i would rather spend teh extra money to get a part that is quality german built with a better/longer history. i have always felt that you get what you pay for.

skandal57 · 06-21-2007, 07:28 PM

your front end will get victimized with those springs.. there too low and too soft. ive had them on my 05 and every once in a while id hit a parking concrete stop or leaving a slanted drive way scrape there as well. i say nay. im getting something a bit higher this time.. the streets are rough man.

jay3151 · 06-21-2007, 08:00 PM

u will prob scuff the lil black lip under the front lip untill u get used to the drop. but once u do park farther away from the curb or parking concreate stops. slanted driveways u should be fine go slower and at angle if possible so that one side be higher goin in. if its too slanted u prob would of scraped w no drop.

I have had nothing but bad experiences with Tein stechs ie. sag as well as noise on two older hondas. I'd definitely go with Eibach or check out the Tanabe DF210 1 inch drop for 06 SI. I wonder why more people don't go with Tanabe-very reputable company.

chilli si · 06-22-2007, 04:43 PM

^^^I was gonna with Tanabe, but choose the Eibach pro-kit instead. Check out Comptech too.

slostjoe · 06-22-2007, 04:47 PM

Hmm well will see what haooens with time i suppose i just went the cheaper route put more money into somethin else hope that's not a bad way to look at it.

ChinoiSI · 06-22-2007, 05:08 PM

besides camber, get those damn shocks. no shocks=crappy handling.
