did you try to call up tein and see how the s tech springs is? what should you combo it with

I'm also gonna throw in with the co recommendation. I tried eibachs first and they were waay too stiff for me. For the combination of smooth but still performance, the tein cs is the way to go....or some other co's that offer comfort. The adjustable feature makes co's a must....to get the height YOU want. Not the height dialed in by the company. Coilovers all the way.

I heard that tein where bringing out an electronically adjustable setup, guess kinda like in my range rover where you press a button on the dash and it goes up and down. Maybe just a rumour.. still bet it would be well expensive if they did.

the height isn't bad too. just take out the wheel and use the two wrenches, very easy

If the Eibachs were too stiff, but the CS's are perfect, then the H.tech springs should be great.
I just put HKS Performers on my Supra, and am looking forward to getting the car corner weighted and dialed in.

The best price Ive had in the uk is £1100 thats about $2112.00 but with fitting I thing im looking nearer $2500.00.
Even if I get them from the USA I will get clobbered on tax when it comes into the country.. then I will end up paying the same price as they are to buy over here.
And on top of that I will end up going to the same shop over here that sells them to have them fitted, cos' I know they know the product and how to fit it properly.
And of course if I have any problems with them Im a bit stuck.
But im still interested in importing the bra, as I cant buy that over here rominl.

So it appears that the Teins springs are almost the same as the stockers, only being slightly softer on the H Techs and stiffer on the S Techs.
