Where can I get Tein springs locally today....??

[URFUCT]

I know I asked b4 but I'm ready to buy and I dont wait for mail.

[BoosTedEj25]

racing zone ask for randy and tell him Alex sent ya he will give you a good deal i think they are like 140 or 150

[URFUCT]

I just called him, he said that they have the h-tech in stock and the s-tech will take a week and a half and the s-tech will lower it more. Im not big into cornering, I just want the lowest stance, but thanx for the info, I will keep their # handy......anyone else??

Alot of ppl prefer the H-tech's drop and stance. If your in a big hurry like it seems, don't dismiss the H-tech's that they have in stock. I personally don't like the ass drag look to the S-Tech's on 04's. The H-tech's lower it just enough. Here are a couple comparo shots though...

[BrewPuBeaver]

exactly. too low can be bad. launches wont be as strong.

[stiscooby]

i was at the racetrac on gandy saturday night. i was the car backed in. I have some s-techs and think they are pretty good. i couldnt complain. i got them from racing zone from randy, as mentioned earlier, for like 150. its up to you man, i like the s-techs, i would wait for them.

maybe some of you should do some research before you buy mad tyte lowering springs. if you don't know what dynamic camber and roll center means then go research that on nasioc.com.

If you bought a WRX or WRX STi and are not interested in cornering at the max possible speed, please sell your car. i really hate seeing Imprezas that are lowered so much that even under static loads the control arms are below parallel (to the ground). when you turn, you LOSE front camber and therefore your car will handle like shit even more so than stock. but if it means it 'looks good' in a parking lot, and that's all you care about then by all means go for it.

I guess all the ex-honda owners who now drive Imprezas don't really know how to drive at the limit anyway.

And I'm not an ex Honda owner, but I've had 2 LS1's, 2 LT1's, a 94 and 99 Cobra, 88 Fox body and have an 05 GT, all of which will hand you your ass on a silver platter, but thanx for inquiring....I appreciate your input. :thumbup:

[2kZX2]

Here comes the purist police... Come on man, not everyone is interested in cornering at max speed and spending $900+ on a set of coilovers, etc. I don't see how that makes them former honda owners? I personally drive my car daily an hour to and from work in stop and go traffic and Tampa's roads are the suck in alot of places. I'm not interested in a stiff coilover setup and either would my 3 month old son riding in the back, nor am I interested in spending the money on something that I'll never use to its fullest extent just so I can look cool the the Scooby snobs. A decent set of springs and a good set of KYB's or the likes and good alignment and I'm good. Sorry it isn't the top dollar setup and I guess I'm not representing the IMPREZA crowd in the proper way because I didn't install the best top dollar suspension but meh I'd rather spend the money elsewhere and enjoy my car for what I bought it for.

+1 I do have to agree for the most part. The car was designed and built to be a rally car...not a drag car. If you want a drag car please find something else, especially when the STI cannot hang with the big cars that are out and about.

[URFUCT]

if you want a drag car please find something else
umm...when you guys make my payments, then you can tell me how to drive my fucking car. I'll drag race the fuck out of it sitting a quarter inch off the ground if thats what I choose to do. I may not have bought my car for the exact same purpose as everyone else with the exact same car. I assure my car will NEVER see off road use.

ps. Havent lost a drag race yet.

....and how are you one to talk?? Dont you drive a full size truck that you turned into a lowrider?? Your shit is was built to haul around lumber, not to drag on the ground.....please find something else. :roll:

[JonLGT]

Thats what I was thinking. I see my WRX as a all around great car, not a full on balls to the wall rally car. It is fast enough for me in a straight line,and around corners. To each their own, if you dont like what I do with my car then pay no attention to it.

Oh yea, I have Tein springs on my car and its low as fuck. cry about it.

[Franklin]

The SRT4!!! :D

[BrewPuBeaver]

Well thats fine...but as soon as you want to step up, im sure I can find some Cobras or LS1s that would love to show you how to get down. As far as my truck, I can haul 3x as much with the air bag system....that means more lumber than stock :D

This really eats at me, I hate when people say "they know a guy that will race you that has xxx". Everybody knows somebody faster than them, if you cant do it yourself dont talk shit.

This has nothing to do with Tein springs...:nono: im ashamed of myself for getting off topic.

[URFUCT]

im sure I can find some Cobras or LS1s that would love to show you how to get down. Been there, done that.

[esemes]
