Which is more performance oriented...Tein stechs or TigerTecs? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Well I'd prefer to have an oversteer tendency than understeer. I'm curious since I'm running Tokico shocks, would I run into rubbing from the tires and bottoming out if I went with the Tein's? I havn't had any issues from bottoming out or rubbing with the TigerTecs even when I have people in the car. But since the rear springs on the Teins are even stiffer than the Tigers, I'd imagine it wouldn't be an issue.

The only thing i'm afriad is that how much lower is the Stech gonna give as compare to Tiger springs.

You'll love the "increase" steering by having a higher spring rate on the rear than the front.

The best and safest bet, get those lightly used set of S-tech springs. If they do rub on the rear with passagers for being too low, you can easily change back to your tiger without burning big hole on your pocket.

I am installing tein springs with the tokico blues on Wed. I'll let you know how I make out.
