As the title states, I love my TSW springs. My only wish is that my car sat a little lower than it does now. So, I am looking at the Tein S. Tech to possibly add to my ride this spring. Can anyone give me some feedback as to whether or not this spring will sit lower or how it rides? I searched but couldn't find a solid answer whatsoever. Help me out guys!

 

You dont want to go much lower then you are now on stock struts, unless you dont care about ride quality. It will also shorten the struts life dramatically going lower then current.

IMO, you want to go lower, get some GOOD coilovers and call it a day. While the KWs are a little pricey, they ride soooo nicely and are sold by TSW .

 

I thought about coilovers but i really don't have the fundage right now to make it happen. If i did, i would get some for sure! Does anyone have any info on this spring at all? The only thing i have heard about them is they don't lower a justacooper all that much and that H&R springs will lower a cooper more and ride better than Tein. Anyone else have anything on these or maybe some first-hand experience?

 

the S in S Tech stands for style. thats really all these springs can offer.

You just can't lower a Mini far at all on stock struts and expect good handling and ride quality since you're essentially on the bumpstops at stock ride height. the TSW's work well because it's a mild drop and a solid bump in spring rate. With cut bumpstops it's decent, but if you want to go any lower and not have that S stand for suck, then you need coilovers.
