Hello all,

This is my first post on MB. I've been purusing the forums as a lurker.

Anyway, I do have a question: Has anyone successfully used Tein's S-tech springs for the C320 damper on a C32 damper?

Further more, for those who've had experience with H&R sport and the Tein S-tech springs, which were you more impressed with? Links to a review, perhaps? A friend of mine has experience with the S-techs and really enjoyed them, so thats where I get my inquiry between the two, as I have experience with H&R...

Thanks guys,
Adrian.

I was curious too if Tein is compatible with the C32 as well, but I was looking for coilovers. I have H & R springs, but they cause so much wear on the stock struts. I need to replace theam after 50K miles

Are you on H&R Race or sports springs?

And I've done quit a bit of reading and it seems that coilovers between the two cars are compatible, but this is speculation based off the fact that the chassis is the same, and the weight is very close between the two cars.

nm... I see that you're on the Cup kit.

No I lied
well the previous owner told me it was a cup kit and i never got around to edit my sig.

My question to you is since the Tein's are the best bang for the buck, would you advise getting them over KW's or Pss9's if your main objective was saving $$$$ and you were not tracking the car

The friend i was referring to (whom I work with) tells me that his only experience with Tein was with the S-tech, years ago. He thinks they're one of the best street springs on the market.

As far as Tein coilovers, the versatiltiy of the EDFC means that sacrificing some comfort (perhaps?) for in-cockpit adjustability of the damping levels would be worth it...

The other brand coilovers you mentioned, I would def look into Bilsteins or KWs. The experience I have with Japanese coilovers is that the damping rebound tends to lean towards the Kidney bruising side of the spectrum, where I found Bilsteins to be able to absorb road imperfections much better.

And the KWs are a very well built damper. I only have time on track with that damper so I can't comment about road use.

well, if no one knows... Ill just purchase them and try it out.

Ill let everyone know, in case this question is asked by another member..
