Yes, in the rear it is very similar, the front is the biggest difference. If you want the slammed look, Teins won't do it.

hey c230 pilot: how much did it cost you for the springs and for the install?

brabusx2: what was your problem with the tein springs? i remembered something went wrong with your install at carlabs but forget what that is.

lol there is nothing wrong with the installation, i am just cheap so i go for lowering spring instead of whole suspension. Now with the spring it made my car bumpy and lots of body roll so i hate it...
