Installed My S Techs

So i finally got around to installing my Tein S Techs, I had the eibachs on for awhile, i snapped the driver side,It was time for new ones, First impression, car is abit lower, ride is not as stiff as the eibachs. Overall I am satisfied, there on KYB GR-2 struts.

Looks great. However KYB struts won't last too long on that kind of drop. So be prepared to shell out a bit more cash on illuminas in the future.

Although I agree Illuminas adjustable are a far better strut, I have no complaints on my KYB GR2's as I have been hard driving on them for 2 years now with no issues. Should I ever need to change, yes I would move to the adjustable Illuminas.

The ride is better then i expected, Its softer then the eibachs and it feels like it is on rails.
