Tein S Tech with Koni FSDs??

Any owners here have used Tein S Tech lowering spring with Koni FSDs? How's the performance and comfort of the combination?

If not, what other struts have you guys tried with good performance and comfort when match with Tein S Tech?

the FSDs for the USDM civics arent out yet. according to the gurus here, it'll probably be shocks and not inserts like what racetech is selling.

If I was you I would choose a different spring. S-techs are designed for "style" not performance... KONIs are never a bad choice, they just aren't out for cars yet IIRC.

Guess you are a Civic FD mod in Singapore. Anyway what is the difference between a shock and "inserts"

Yes, performance improvement is also waht i am looking for. But main priority is looks. Definitely with lowering the performance has improved.

WOW That's a quote for the record books...

Why bother getting KONIs then if you are only about looks... just keep your stockers on and save about $600... enjoy your VTECH...

Its a matter of time that the stock shocks will die. Then I am looking at upgrade. I am enjoying every moment in the ride now!

If you're going to spend that kind of money on Koni's, you mind as well spend the extra for the GC springs.
