Kendo11 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Afternoon all, Is anybody using or has experience of tein lowering springs with stock yellow billstein shocks? Tein seem to be the most cost effective way of getting some lows but I'm unsure of the quality? Any advice appreciated. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I currently have Tein S tech springs on yellow Bilstein's on my NA with no issues ATM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Yeah, but are they any good? Yeah they are fine, they don't sit too low/rub and they are especially for a NA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Spot on IMO, I had other springs on there before and they were too rigid compared to these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I had Teins on my black NA. Was spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 They tend to still sit quite high on the front compared to the rear from what I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 They tend to still sit quite high on the front compared to the rear from what I've seen. Fronts are lower than the rears. Did you have S tech ones Ben or TT ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Fronts are lower than the rears. Did you have S tech ones Ben or TT ones? They lower the front 36mm and the rear 42mm according to the advert I've just read. I helped fit some to Josh(42)'s car and parked it side by side with mine (fitted with 40mm lowering springs all round) and his was definitely higher on the front than mine. I'm surprised that a few mm difference is noticeable but it definitely was. Maybe there are different versions of the Teins?

Depends the Jap ones lower the front 36mm and the rear 20mm iirc. I'm certain there were two types for a NA and the ones you fitted sound for a TT to me.
