Tein S-techs v. Stock, pic inside

SoCal07Si · 03-27-2008, 03:12 AM

So this is a pic I took a few days ago of my car parked next to a stock 08 Si on the honda lot. Almost identical to mine, but had Navi.

Pretty clear how much the s-techs set it apart

pic sux and my phone died so I only had enough juice to send this one, but you can see the wheel gap and the height difference in the front bumper

are these just the springs? or the coilovers?...btw, do you know how important the coilovers are to suspension?...as in, do they help out alot or just help lower it?

SoCal07Si · 03-27-2008, 11:48 AM

Thats just springs.

Coilovers, new, are around a grand. My springs were $179 shipped. Coilovers are great for racing because you can adjust them. If ur planning on racing, get the coilovers. If u got the $$$$ and wanna be able to slam ur car one day and lift it the next, (with some time spent under the car) get the coilovers.

If its just not that important, get the springs. It's gonna handle better than stock either way.

pj king · 03-27-2008, 02:06 PM

Where did you get the springs from for $179?

SoCal07Si · 03-27-2008, 02:19 PM

ebay motors. jdm-in-stock is the store name. they're a sponsor here too I believe. I've seen them on here anyway.

Micah · 03-27-2008, 03:33 PM

socal07si, could you get the springs and coilovers? and have them both on your car?

SoCal07Si · 03-27-2008, 03:38 PM

Nah, its either or.

The coilovers are one (4 total) unit that replaces your stock springs, shocks and struts

Micah · 03-27-2008, 04:02 PM

grrr.....so, if i get the springs now, when i have the money to get coilovers, i cant use the springs...***!!!!!! ok, thanks man...

SoCal07Si · 03-27-2008, 04:03 PM
