time to replace teins?

Post by Platinum76 »

got over 100k on my Tein S-techs... ride seems to be a bit bouncy while driving straight ahead... more so than when I first installed them... anyone else have issues as well?

A bouncy ride would indicate it's time for new struts. Springs typically don't wear out, at least not for a very, very long time. When the springs are done you normally see the car sagging lower than usual.
Are you running stock struts? I'd recommend Tokico, that's what I've had for 8 years.

had tokicos... all the seals blew out, was strapped for cash so went with the Staggs, only 30k on them at the most. perhaps they aren't geared to work with the Teins.

Why did you buy Staggs when you could have gotten new Tokicos under their lifetime warranty. Did you buy them used?
