Questions on Spring

Dat fiyahhh · 03-21-2008, 05:26 AM

in the market to buying some spring for a drop but clueless...im looking for a nice drop but not trying to do anything crazy..jus want a cleaner look..was thinking of a 1in drop..sounds good? also since all i wanted is a drop for cleaner look..do i have to but the coilover/amber kit..thats jus if u want a very nice suspension right? last question..i was thinking of getting the skunk2 springs...good idea?

SoCal07Si · 03-21-2008, 05:28 AM

i got the S-Techs...not a complaint yet. Coil overs are for racing.

Dat fiyahhh · 03-22-2008, 01:37 AM

is there really gonna be a difference between the S-Tech or Skunk 2 besides the 60 dollar difference?

SoCal07Si · 03-22-2008, 01:39 AM

Skunks are supposed to be lower

oh and mine were 179 shipped

Dat fiyahhh · 03-22-2008, 02:23 AM

dam thats a good deal....but besides the price difference...quality wise im guessing the tein s spring are better? i dont really wanna worry about my shocks or etc..since i only got 5k on my car and only gonna be using springs but for only a 1 inch dropp there really shouldnt be no issues right no matter if i go with skunk or tein right?

bizzybearfigiblue · 03-22-2008, 02:28 AM

tons of good info that might answer some of ur questions in here... Suspensions!!!

i have S-Techs w/SPC rear Camber kit... my left front makes a noise but i'm just too lazy to fix it...

SoCal07Si · 03-22-2008, 02:32 AM

well, s-techs and the skunks are more than an inch drop. Some people may worry about blowing out a shock, but that SHOULDNT happen.

As far as quality, they're springs. They're pretty much manufactured the same way, outta the same stuff. Only difference is spring rate and color.

I was going to get the Skunk2's, but decided at the last minute to get the Teins becuz the Skunks are a little too low for me.

SoCal07Si · 03-22-2008, 02:33 AM

and yeah, if u can, get the camber kits. Saves ur tires, if u want.

Dat fiyahhh · 03-22-2008, 02:34 AM

whoaa no matter what i cant have the ride jus drop an inch..i gotta go by how much they are drop from the spring itself? and ty for link

bizzybearfigiblue · 03-22-2008, 02:35 AM

the Skunks are what?? 2" drop... way too much for me..

the S-Techs are F1.3" R1.4"
the H-Techs are F1.1" R1.2" (i think)

thanx... i only have the rear camber kit... u don't need the front...

u can do like i did... i lowered my car... and ate up the stock all-season tires... took almost 20k miles to do... and then i installed the rear camber b/c at the time i originally lowered it i didn't have the money to get the kit either... at the same time i wanted to get newer tires so i didn't care about the stockers...

w/o a camber kit and with normal driving and scheduled rotations u shouldn't have a problem with tires for at least over 20k miles...
