Teins, what model? Thanks

Post by Vibe2386 »

I would like to know what Tein lowering kit will give the vibe a 2.5" drop and i would also like to know if i had that kit and went over a bump while making a turn will the tire hit the fender. Thanks Nick

Hey Vibe2386, welcome to genvibe,I just ordered the Tein S-techs and will be installing them Saturday. It was a tough decision, but I narrowed mine down to the Eibach Sportlines or S-techs. The S-techs were only $120 from Adventon.com, plust $20 shipping. That was the best deal I found, beating the best ebay deal by a few dollars, plus my experience with adventon was great. I can't give you advice on how they ride yet, but only a couple more days . It seems as though everyone is happy with the springs they purchased, I didn't hear any negatives.Good luck,

I too got Tein S springs from Adventon. Car looked and rode great, but my giant (275/40 x 17") tires rubbed so I had to pull them off..

I have mine for more then 6 months now, hit big potholes and the wheels never ever hit the fender. Unless you put much (very much) larger and/or height tire, it will not rub at all.
