not at all. at first there a little stiff but once they break in, they ride suprisingly smooth. yea ur gonna notice some bumps a little more but thats with any aftermarket spring. Now it feels almost as smooth as the stock springs.

 

cool, did you change your struts and make the adjustments to your cambers?

hmm, do you know how the teins feel compared to the eibachs?

 

I have a 2003 MP5 - I bought Tein springs down in Florida. They were cheap and had them installed cheap. I dropped my car two inches. I take it easy over deep tracks (train) - take speed bumps at an angle. Hauling things has been no problem (big friends, camping gear, etc.)
I even had my car out camping the other weekend!! Not so smart but my car had no problems.

 

thanks for the input Mp5mn, did you change anything else to your suspension system besides the springs like the struts etc.... Do tein springs come in different height measurments?

 

Not that I know of. The Tein S-Tech's I thought were 2.0 front 1.4 rear.
Maybe just for the sedan?

 

check out there website tein.com i think. im pretty sure they only have one height for the p5

 

i forgot about going directly to the source on this one! this site as "swingers" would say is "money"!


Everyone has been a great help on this decision that's been in my head for months now. I will go with the eibachs pro-kit from ebay. Kumara Motoring says he will work out a deal with me because I've bought from him before.

Thanks for all the input again everybody!

 

If u lower ur car make sure u GET A WHEEL ALIGNMENT!! i just found out the hard way this weekend that i should have done it sooner, i had a tire blow out because they were toed out by 1 degree... both my front tires on the insides were worn down to the steel belts..
but everything is cool now, good way to get rid of those crappy dunlops and get TOYO Proxes4
