yeah, which teins did you get and can you explain the ride quality between the two? I got maxspeeds and am thinking about switching to the tein s techs.

The first time i saw the pic I was like holy shiet!! I would be crying if my car looked like that - guess, lucky I live Hawaii.

My old maxspeeds felt like the car was still stock
when i put the Teins on friday night and took it out...it was a little but more tighter...
i felt more bumps in the road...
But when i had the maxspeeds on it felt like the rear or the car was sagging...and now it feels better...
Its hard to tell how it handle's becuase i have snow tires on
It also looks alot better too...IMO

well there are a lot of hills around where i live...so i might scrap it once in a while...i never scraped it with the maxspeeds...
you live in TN..so i am guessing you probably have a lot less hills...
I would def. get a front lip on your car man...its worth it
Even if you do scrap...the stillen pieces won't break...i would just get some touch up paint and fix it that way if i ever scraped



maximilion i didn't measure it yet...but i would say probably an inch from the maxspeeds...
you can tell the difference from both...i need better pics...but its dark out now...
i will try to get some tomorrow

CCx i am not looking forward to the snow either...
i can't wait for spring!

They should settle a bit more also. 5 days after I had mine installed, I went to get an alignment & they had no probs. getting it on the rack. 6 months later I went to the same place to get have them check the alignment and they tried everything to get the car on that same rack but it was impossible (I don't have a body kit or anything).

Make sure you get an alignment soon before you have a similar prob...mine was kinda off when I had the Teins installed.

I think in the GD forum they're selling for around $160 shipped? I bought mine for $150 shipped in a GD ages ago.
