Tein S-Tech and H-Techs for super cheap

Dirt Cheap Tien S-Techs and H-techs. Ordered mine monday night, and received them today. I ordered the H-techs. The springs cost me 180 shipped for the H-techs. The S-techs are even cheaper (I Think 165 Shipped). The Site?http://www.theperformancedriver.com
They ship super fast, at least to me they did (I live in CT) it was practically overnighted, but i didnt pay for overnight shipping. Hope this helps to anyone looking to purchase Tein springs for cheap. And im not sure whether or not someone has posted this site already. In any case happy buyin folks

That isn't really super cheap, about average from what I've seen.

S.techs and GR2's make you feel like a bobble head in the Max! Drop looks sick but ride is not that great, in fact I get very nautious and sea-sick, yes sea-sick!

Bouncy??? Yeah... but you live in NY so what do you expect?

These prices are straight. It was already said but I bought my H-Techs from SWA / SCO way back when.

And of the 4 I've used, the H-techs were far and away the worst for handling (worse than stock, even).....

I got my DZ's for 110 shipped and I love the way they handle. Then after I put a set of GR2's in the car it only got better.

What do you think of K-Sport coilovers irish44j? have you had a set?

haven't had any coilovers. Not because I wouldn't like them....but I have a fairly long daily commute on crappy roads, so I stick with regular spring/strut combo.

if i were to get coilovers, first choice would be the boss chens.....

I'm sure alot of people on here can tell you about the ksports though.

Easy on the comparison, you name the back road and we can do it. I will laugh as you go drifting off into the woods....

I belive mine is, it may not be the name brad like tien or H&R but the ride vs cornering is so evenly balanced I couldn't ask for more (The stance is mean also ). If any of you ever run into me I would gladly take you for a short ride.

None. 60,500 and no oil consumption.

Ironic that a guy with a VQ35 is trying to knock on someone for OIL CONSUMPTION...

Also if you were an expert you would know that the GR-2s are simply a replacement OEM strut and originally not designed for such a low drop as the S-techs offer nor provide the damping they would need.....That's what the AGX from KYB are for..

Do you REALLY want to dance, here?

You made a statement that you could not back up and now change the subject. If making fun of a problem that does not exist is the best that you have, you should exit the internet immedately.

You must have got lemons. There is no way that stock springs handle better than H-techs. Compared to all other after market springs you've had, I understand. But for my case, going from stock setup to H-techs and road driving exclusively, H-techs are superior.

H-techs did have a slight tendency to have some lean in the front when driven hard. They are just slightly softer than they should be, given their length of drop.

IMO, they were about the same as stock as far as handling, but the look was improved, and I never bottomed them out in daily driving. I never really drove them aggressively (auto-X), so a track or 10/10ths evaluation would have to come from someone like Josh, who DID run them hard.

Whereas my 4th gen H-techs were pretty much the perfectly balanced all-around spring, the 5th gen was not the be-all end-all that I was looking for.

But there's no way a maxima will outhandle a miata...those things are freaking awesome...I think I'm going to pick one up within the next year or so.

dot.

He hadn't driven on his stock suspension for a long time when he had the H-techs so he must have forgotten how crappy they really were

My car can take turns that i would never DREAM of taking on stock suspension...that and there was a noticable decrease in roll, pitch, dive, and bounce over bumps...would I get these again? probably not...am I satisfied with my purchase? definitely...

I am glad you take my joking the way it's intended . The miata can outhandle a Maxima anyday but the problem with the miata is it has no power, unless it has some help
