[Mk2] [NA] The nice DHL man just delivered... Tein S.Tech Springs

[mr2_mat]

Now I just have to wait for this flinking rain to stop, so that I can fit them!!

[SonicSW20]

How much, where from, and expected drop amount?

[mr2_mat]

Camskill, they had them in stock too, so next day delivery £169, and drop of 37-38mm - these springs get good write-ups for producing their stated drops (whereas some others don't always drop as much, allegedly)... I shall be measuring the difference once fitted to see what they come out at.

[Phill P]

Pop some side on pics when you do fit and maybe some measurements from arch to wheel centreline front and rear,would like to know how much more over my comfortable but not quite low enough Apex springs.

Apex -30 mm dropped to 325mm front and 335 rear.

[mr2_mat]

Yep, will do... although I have lightened my car quite a bit already, so it will probably sit ever so slightly higher than a standard unlightened car.

[HighwayStar]

I think the drop is measured from rev1 height and the factory ride height shrunk over the revs.... I think.
Anyway I've had S-Tech on mine for about 30mths. V firm slow speed ride coupled with B6s but much better at speed. Fabulous flatness. Pics on 15s in my garage. What strut and wheel combo you wearing?

Yes, I believe you are correct - It will be interesting to see how much mine drops from before to after.

What strut and wheel combo you wearing?

I am on standard all-round.

[HighwayStar]

and.... got 'em on yet? I'm wanting before and after pics though they'll take a while to settle in my experience.

Nope, not yet, too much rain, and I had to replace brake pads first, then I fitted new exhaust. Hopefully will get them on soon if this rain goes away!! Will get pics up once done

What made you choose the teins rather than eibachs?

[cvega666]

i've got the S-Tecs on the NA too, they're pretty firm make sure your tooth fillings are nice and fresh :>

[HighwayStar]

Agreed. Teins for lowness, flatness and yes erm, firmness. Eibachs for comfort.

[Phill P]

These fitted yet

[HighwayStar]

yeah, come on.

[Maverick9999]

yeah, come on.

+1 , watching with interest...
