I am considering TIEN Springs, supposedly they have a 2.2 in. drop up front, and as we all know, that gap is like the Grand Canyon. I don't see a lot about them anywhere, is anyone have them or familiar with TIEN? They have a 200 lb front and 270 lb rear spring rate and good warranty. I dont want it stiff, near stock a little tighter is good. I am also considering H&R and Maxspeed, which overall I have heard good things. I need a good drop with these Potenza S03's. Anyone who wants to put there 2 cents in feel free. Thanks in advance

 

if u want the slammed look...go for Teins...they give u a huge drop both front and rear.....H&R is the best in terms of driving comfort...but the drop is only moderate comparing with the Teins....

 

if you want a good looking drop but wouldnt mind a harsh ride, get some teins. those are by far the cleanest drop and 92 SER. ... couldnt agree more, hell show..

I have H&Rs becase I cant stand those suspensions, but non maxima owners sometimes think my car isnt even dropped because they think of cars like a4 or the g35or a bimmer wherethe suspension is kinda nice already...

Teins for looks
H&Rs for cumfort
Eibach for the next clean looking spring...

 

One word.. JLT-FLTA2's!

 

Ditto....

I have the Teins installed

 

definitly the best way to go if you got 2000 bucks to blow, otherwise go H&R

 

Although PROGRESS springs seem blacksheep to some ORG. members,I have PROGRESS Sport Springs on my car w/KYB AGX's. To me they handle great and have a nice drop.

 

Nah... You can get them for like $1475 shipped..

 

And yes, I agree!

 

Teins are GREAT!!!
check homepage for pics...

 

Tein gives the best drop, but would it be too low for somebody that has Stillen Aero kit installed? Like me ?

 

I'll get tein... best drop!!

 

How much do H & R's run around?

 

Tein (damn 10 character limit )

 

Take a look at my sig pic. Teins installed and setting over the edge of my driveway. No Aero kit installed but it gives you an idea.

 

I like it... but after tein i'll got body kit...

 

You'll be fine, just have to be carefull. The other guys on here with Teins and body kits say they have no problems.

 

What kind of body kit they have? sarona is more lower than stillen? I like stillen body kit more than sarona but sarona is amazing with nice big rims... i saw a lot of maximas with sarona bk and they are very nice!!! but i think maxima with sarona bk and stock rims is ugly...

 

How much drop will the H&R's give you compared to the teins?

OMG I wish I had that much space, with my bodykit on, I actually stoped like that on driveway be4 just to see how much room I have, it clears be like 5mm at the very most! I havnt really had any problems though, no matter how steep I always clear them w/o any issues.

Greek, you'll be find. Just watch out for parking blocks.

 

Teins .

 

I had H&R before I switched too Teins. With H&R I had approx 3-3.5 finger gap in front and 2-2.5 finger gap in the rear. With Teins I now have a tight 2 finger gap all around. My fingers are long just not thick

 

Tiens

 

i just got teins but havn't installed them yet. what shocks would you recomend for a good combo w/ the teins. i hear good stuff about tokico & kyb

 

People here will ***** and wine about tokicos being crap and all but I got them and its just fine. Honestly though, your better off with the KYB-GR2s. The cost less and do the same job

 

 

Progress Tech ...dont wanna try to spoil the Tein party

 

Actually progress isnt too bad either, Its the 2nd lowest after Tein. Progress actually settles pretty damn low so after a yr or so they will be almost the same. That means with those 20s your gonna start rubbin more and more homie

 

I think after tein is the sprint... not progress right? Hitmanse so you have tein with tokiko shocks?

 

sorry man, no rubbing here..have had the springs on for almost 2 months now...but if they do I'll just get some 19's or 18's

 

i have 4th gen H&Rs on and i have 1.5 finger gap in front and NEGATIVE 1 finger in the back

 

Mybad, I 4got about those Yeah Teins the lowest at 2.2 in the front and 1.6 in the rear. Sprint ive heard anywere from 1.8-2.0 all the way around and progess is 1.6 all the way around. Not to much of a diff between them all but the front is definetly slammed a bit more with the Teins. Yeah man, I got the Toks/Teins

TitaniuMax03: How wide did you get those anyway? 245?
Usually it wont rub with the right offset, if it does it only happens when the spring compresses quite a bit but its only for a split sec, nothing major so dont worry about it.

 

Measure it from the center of the fender to the ground, how many inches you got? I guess your front settled lower then normal, but the rear well you got a reason for it to be that low a friggin hugh @ss system that weighs 2-300 will do that

Just for comparison, mine is 25.25" in the front and 25.5" in the rear. Now I know you might have me beat in the rear but

 

lol, mainly cuz the 4th gen spring, but also the heavy *** system that majotly slowed me down

Front 26.0
Rear 25.25

 

Holy **** your rear is low, I cant imagine how low mine is gonna be when I get the ported 15" with the amps Hopefully Ill break even at 25.25 all the way around

You still have a 3.5 man what am I gonna say with my 3.0 not to mention you got some

 

You should probably reach that with a ported 15 that should be heavy

No more NX

 

ya I got 245/35 size tires...even with 2 people in the back seat they dont rub..ya thats why I dont worry much about it..

 

I hear Maxspeeds were pretty good. Anyone know what kind of drop they give you????

 

Yeah like 1" Id go with H&R instead, thats if your goin more for comfort though.

 

How much of a drop does the H&R give you??
