TEINS + GT = A HAPPY TORPEDO

[fatfrog02]

Looks like a fairly significant change in ride height. Do you get any scrapping issues at all? Trying to decide on a set of these or the H-techs. Any information about ride, feel and handling would be helpful. Thx.

the drop was 25mm at the rear and 30mm at the front. No scraping so far (only had it done a couple of days ago though)

In terms of ride comfort, the change is not noticeable. There is no increase in bumpy-ness or harsh jittering which you may get with other brands? The improvement is most noticeable when cornering. The car goes around a lot more flat (less body roll) and much more confidently, I feel like I can turn in further without any problems. In fact it feels more responsive I guess, and also less movement up and down when on the gas/brake.

Maybe Im easily impressed, I dont know, but I cant recommend these enough. I can only imagine the what improvement would be if I added some aftermarket sway bars in the setup.

Hope that helps

ps. My wife took the car to get some milk tonight and didnt say anything? (it was dark though)

but what if she commented on how good it felt when she was sweeping through corners at 80 k's now? but she used to only take them at 40.

or what if she said "it's my car now!"

The s-techs still going strong?? Have they settled a bit or still 30mm Front and 25mm rear for the drop. How is the ride now??
I am really keen to get some. Everyone who gets these rave about them.

It'll probably be another 2-3 weeks before they fully settle. They should drop another 5 mm.

Haha. Then get them! If all the reviews were positive in terms of meeting your expectations, how many more reviews do you need to be convinced? If you're still in doubt, best thing is to jump in a Lib of someone who has them.

still going well... I have discovered the art of going down ramps without loosing the front lip. Im still wrapped with the handling, but probably noticed a few more bumps on the road than I did with the stock setup - still worth it IMO though

Hey James,

Who did you get to fit the springs?

I went to Beaurepaires in Claremont (near where I work). I was talking the manager there some time back about tyres etc and he mentioned that he could do suspension upgrade as well.

They did a great job and I would recommend them.

Managers name is Yang

cheers
