10 springs would definitely stiffen up the ride a bit.

From what I read in the past, the S-Techs for the MCS had nice spring rates and decent drop. :smile:

Ah, Borícua! My concuño in Chicagoland is Rican.

Anyway, have you given any thought to the H-Sport springs?

?Que uvo's Puerto rico......

tein's drop is pretty even front & back so that dip effect will be gone u know! the ride is kool, kinda tight rough but kool as far as spring rates stiff enough to keep that rear end from bowing/dipping down at hard launch which is what u want to get up & kick some ***........ know what i mean Pana, al rato loco.

Thinking of the same springs but I went to their website and was dissapointed in the pic of the drop on the car. I was wondering if you had a good drop with those springs? I want to place an order for them but was turned off by the pic of the car with the springs on it. Maybe it was just the angle the pic was taken...

TIA,
Darin

is the tire/wheel aspect ratio the same as stock? there seems to be quite a bit of fender to wheel/tire gap.

I have the Tein shocks/springs with the EDFC unit. Love it! You can dial it in for any condition on the fly. Beat having to get under the car and make changes - maybe I'm getting old or lazy - or both. On the softest setting its pretty close to stock but a bit firmer. I don't have it lowered as far as it would go, but I didnt want a weed wacker.
