Default Thinking about lowering

Just wondering, will changing out to Tein lowering springs make a difference in ride quality and comfort?

I know for a fact that coilovers will, not sure about lowering springs.

Thanks!

I know there's been alot of feedback about the Tein H Tech springs being a smoother ride...

I've installed Teins and can say that I feel lke it has taken a lot of the "bounce" out of the already (IMO) good suspension. Don't misunderstand this though for a softer ride...it is pretty firm, but this IS a sports sedan. I'm not tracking this car or anything crazy...I daily drive it but i have always liked a firmer ride and the looks of a lowered car so the springs for me was the right way to go. Good Luck.

+1 Teins

I like my tein springs a lot. They settled to a nice look and ride comfort definetely improved.

+1 tein. I too felt a bit smoother and less bouncier ride. It was a perfect choice for me especially with a 2 month old that rides in the back seat..
