Tein S techs

Im fixing to buy a set. For those who have these, have you had any problems with them? I understand the ride is kinda rough but is there any modification needed to make the drop even on the car. Any info would be appreciated. Thanx.

i have had those, and they were nice, but the only thing is that i was not as satisfied with the drop, so i ended up going with the tein coilovers.

I have the S-Techs with Illuminas. The drop is pretty good...but it can be lower :P
I've been running on them for almost a year now, and no major problems I find. Although the ride can be slightly bumpy, I can always adjust my Illuminas to be softer.

I have s-tech's on illuminas also. Put them on a few weeks ago, I like them. The front drop is def what I was looking for. One and a half finger gap in the front, and similar (2 maybe) in the rear. I'm happy.

i got the s-techs on illuminas, really like the drop, and the rear should be about maybe 0.2 inches lower

Waiting to put my s-techs on soon with illuminas

1 1/2 finger wheel gap! That sounds perfect. I like how the rear sits up a little. Good for high power acceleration and stufff

I just put my S Techs on yesterday and I love them.. There is about a 2.5 finger gap all around on them, but they still need to settle for another week or two. I find the ride to be very comfortable compared to my Ground Control's.. I have the S techs on my AGX's with settings 3F,6R and Bens rear shock mounts. Overall I am very pleased with them so far.

i switched with a person from the org that is returning his car back to stock.

Bens rear shock mounts? do you need them for s-techs? i thought they were for coilovers.

Wow, That must suck. Lucky person who got it. You must have been mad when you realized you were going to keep the car.
