Nismo Lowered on Tein S Tech Lowering Springs

Aren't Teins spring rates almost identical to the stock nismo rates?

Fuct - are you going to post some pics of yours? I'm looking to get some as well.


Nevermind as I just saw your profile pics. It looks pretty good. Are you liking them?

i will make a large first 2500 miles post explaining all the things in my album. im at 2010 now.

do i like them.... for $220 shipped YES!!! if it was an expensive coilover setup then NO.

since i used my nismo shocks i cant comment on what a touring feels like, but i have almost zero body roll now. the car is MUCH tighter. buuuut now the car rattles a bit more and i hear a few squeeks and such. (i have the car 60% dynamated too)

would i buy them to use on factory shocks till the shocks go YES! then switch to KW3's....

also about the drop. in the rear with factory nismo suspension i had a 2-1/2 finger gap. measuring the width of my 2-1/2 fingers thats about 2" or so. after 4 days i now have half a finger in the back. i could go as far as saying it is even right at the top of the tire! soooo if my math is correct and we just say now theres a 1/4" gap my rear dropped down 1-3/4"!!!! hmmmmm

Fuct, who'd you buy them through? I got quoted $225 before taxes and shipping through a local Tein dealer in Albuquerque, NM.

Johnny, but are they authentic? There was a thread about the fakes. Sometimes, I'd rather pay 30 bucks more to know that they're a reliable source with an authentic product.
