My setup should be here in 2 days, and trying to install this weekend, And from what I have been reading. All the reviews point in TEIN'S Favor

Default put teins on this weekend

the ride is very good not as stiff as the stock suspension.....took a while to put on but once i got them on the gap was gone......very straight forward everything was pretty much the same as when i lowered my 350 just the engine bay clips r a little different on the in side clips.....u have 2 take both plastic pieces off 2 get 2 the mounts in the engine bay but overall i like them alot.....make sure 2 line up everything b4 u put spring compressor off this saves alot of time i marked everything with a marker b4 i unistalled so i would get as close as possible 2 what is was originally....

Then this is not good for me. I find the stock suspension too bouncy, not stiff at all. Stiff is how my Evo drove, and I wish my IS-F can drive the same way!

Does anyone know how the quality of Tein springs compare to Eibach? I have heard before that Tein springs tend to sag really quickly. Does anyone have any input in this?

For those of you running the Teins, does the front or rear rub anywhere?

Thanks in advance!

Ride is Great still!
Have put over a 1000 miles and no complaints at all. No sign of sag and the drop is perfect. I submitted pics under a different thread check them out!
