Tein S-Techs vs Sportlines
Thursday, October 09, 2008 7:50 AM
I'm torn currently, I realize that they offer different drops, but I'm wondering about the quality of the springs and/or company reputation.

Granted the Sportlines I'm looking at have an unknown amount of miles on them, and I'm unsure on the S-Techs as of yet.

Personal experiences with either/both?

Thanks guys.

both are good springs, just make sure you get the right struts for them.

Oh trust me. When I originally bought this car the person before me cut the springs on stock struts, which I wasn't aware of. I found out pretty quickly what had happened and I would never dare do something like that again. Even just based on ride quality :\

As said, both are reputable companies who've acutally designed the spring for the car, instead of just offering a super high spring rate that happens to fit.
My experience with the sportlines - its well designed for the jbody in terms of spring rate. It's relatively soft for how low it is, so you can tune the comfort vs handling with the adjustable strut. If you want to leave the strut on full soft setting, you can achieve a pretty soft ride. This is not the case for some of the higher rate springs out there - there stif and theres no tuning it out with the strut.
