Tein Springs

I was wondering if I install these springs, are my wheels gunna try and bend outward like I see some of these cars driving around. Also I thought they were gunna lower it 1.9" but I'm not sure. If they do, is that too much for my Liftback. Also one more... Cutting the bumbstops? Is that a no no or is it ok to do that?

first of all purchase these from one of our vendors please...

iptuned.com or wesellcarparts.com, you'll get a better deal and you will get the reall thing

to answer your question, no, you are lowering the car not adjusting the camber

cutting your bumpstops will not change the ride heigth if that is what you are getting at and you will need to follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer you choose

maybe you should shop around a bit, tein has other options that don't lower as much and there are lots of other brands

most of your questions can be answered using the search feature anyway

i have the S.Tech's on my S. the camber was not affected, and i never needed an alignment. i am using the TRD Sportivo shocks/struts tho. i bought my S.Tech's from ProMotionTuning here.

as for the bumpstops,s we cut mine like how Chris cut his in his DIY Tanabe DF install.

I followed the directions that came with my Tein Basics and cut mine also.

179. shipped from wesellcarparts.com, pretty hard to resist but iptuned may beat their price

Yeah that ebay auction is a little high - I think i still have my reciept for my tein springs - being in the 175 range, i'd have to find it. My friends tiburon was the same..175. It was a very nice drop, ride quality was good too.
