Killer Deal On Tein S Techs

[Polygon]

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I just picked up a set of Tein S Tech springs from PMP for $190. They had a group buy and six people fell through. I picked up one set today and ChargerX3 has grabbed another. So, there are four sets left. Both of us are local but Jason said he will do $190 shipped.

So, if you're interested I suggest you get a hold of Jason at PMP.

Man that sucks that people always flake on those things. If I didn't already have a set of eibachs that I STILL need to mount I would be all over this. Thanks for the heads up.

What are the Eibachs suppose to drop the car? And would your Eibachs work with a TT with ECS?

[MADMarc]

Eibachs are SUPPOSED to drop the car 1.3" but I have read different opinions across the forums. Some people got less and some people got just that or about 1.5"...personally I'm hoping for at least an inch hahah. As for working w/the ECS I am not really sure but I dont see why not. They mate up to the ecs struts perfectly from what I have read but I plan on getting rid of the system and snagging some GR-2s...that is what's taking me so damn long. I got set back on the struts due to a really good deal gone bad and haven't mustered up the cash to get the correct struts yet :(

I have eibach adjustable ground control springs. I can drop my car pretty damn low to the ground. The bad side to it is my car is very very bouncy as if you hit a dip in the road you see the whole front of the car bounce and you might hit your head on the ceiling. On a well paved road the car feels amazing! So amazing that it makes me not want to get coil overs.

Clint, any word on when his next shipment is coming in?

There are lower prices on Ebay but then we're not supporting our vendors.

I went through 3 sellers before I got real Teins though. Thank god for return policy.

True, you have to be careful. Here's a web page from Tein that shows you how to identify real vs. fake http://www.tein.com/counterfeit/

The sellers had the correct images posted of real ones too. For $190, I would go with PMP and save the hassle.

Will these work on a N/A or do I need different shocks etc?

[Jimvr4]

Nope, these won't work for a NA.

What needs to be changed.. or better yet is there a write up?

Front Struts.
1. Jack the car up. Jack stands always.
2. Take wheels off (5x21mm).
3. Unbolt the strut (2x17mm) from the spindle/steering knuckle/hub, make sure to make note of the top bolt for camber position. There will also be some lines attached to the strut that you will need to disconnect as well (12mm and maybe a 10mm).
4. Unbolt the strut from the body (3x14mm).
5. Compress the springs while loosening the center nut (19mm) of the strut. I personally just put the bottom of the strut up against a brick wall, and use and impact and hope it doesn't take my hand off. I haven't had any issues, yet.
6. Pull rubber cap out of the center caps that you just got loose from pulling the old spring out.
7. Put rubber cap on strut.
8. Compress new springs and assemble strut in reverse order. It is common sense. Tighten the center nut to 56ft/lb.
9. Put the car back in reverse order. You may have to stand on the hub to get the struts in and out btw.

Rear Struts.
1. Jack car up. Jack stands always.
2. Remove wheel. (5x21mm)
3. Remove the bolt holding the strut to the knuckle. (1x17mm)
4. Hammer the strut off of the dowel that it sits on. I used a 2x4 against the strut to not damage the strut.
5. Remove the plastic in the trunk, and remove the strut from the body. (2x14mm)
6. Compress the springs while loosening the center nut (19mm) of the strut. You can actually compress the rear springs by hand, and shouldn't have a tension release problem when loosening the center nut.
7. Pull rubber cap out of the center caps that you just got loose from pulling the old spring out.
8. Put rubber cap on strut.
9. Compress new springs and assemble strut in reverse order. It is common sense. Tighten the center nut to 18ft/lb.
10. Put the car back in reverse order. I used a bottle jack to compress the strut once I bolted it back into the body. Lined it up to the dowel with the bottle jack, and then hammered it onto the dowel. Worked really well for both sides.

Sure, NP.

I didn't ask since I had mine. Probably should have. Just give Jason a call and see if he has tracking info yet.

The S Tech is for the VR-4/TT ECS struts only.
