My ex coupe with Tein S-tech's

Just had a guy I work with put them on. Took him about 1.5 hours

and yes, i know, she's dirty












Ride feels great, i'm going to take it and get it aligned sometime in the next couple weeks.. but it was actually driving straight when i took it for a spin after it was installed.

Looks great. How's the ride feel? Handling?

It looks nice. I can't really tell it sits any lower than my stock EX. I guess it's an optical delusion. Ride quality ?????

i can definitly tell a difference. Granted the angles are different. His sits quite a bit lower...even if its just a 1.5" drop. I compared mine (SI) to a buddy's stock SI and i noticed quite a bit of difference and the drop isn't that much different to the EX.

Kurt the car looks good man. Hope you're likin them Teins cuz I absolutly love mine

I guess it is different on the Si, because my ride quality dropped alittle. It got alittle bumper on ruff roads. But the handling made up for the ride quality. By the way, the car looks good man!
