Yet another Tein S-Tech spring install w/ pics

Post by NSimkins »

Seems the Tein S-Tech's have been pretty popular over the past 6 months. I finally gave in and upgraded from my Eibach Pro-Kit springs (1.5" F/R) to the Tein S-Tech springs. I desired a slightly lower look and the handling has only improved in my eyes. Here are some pics:http://www.nicksimkins.com/gal...enickSpecial thanks to rasermon for lending the help with yet another (5th!) Vibe spring install during the MI Rally weekend.

Another nice looking Vibe with Tein!!!t is even better with those rims.Be carefull, you should have to remove or at least cut your mudguard because they will hit the ground very often.I had to remove mine once I put my springs.

I plan on purchasing a new set of front flaps and trimming them down some. I don't want to get rid of them completely as they have saved my lower body over the past 2 years nicely.
