Did your springs come with Instructions?

Did your springs come with Instructions?

nope.. boxed was opened and hacked up.. springs looked new..or well cleaned

lol @ feet pic, classic.

Many people who have the Teins claim that they are 'soft.' Were you expecting a harsh ride?

I believe the progressive (longer) spring does go in the rear. The rear springs really determine how the car feels as far as harshness goes and since they are progress, they'll feel soft when you're cruising but as soon as you start loading them (cornering, accelerating, etc.) they become stiffer as they compress.

Also, are the kyb's adjustable?

[steelbluesleepR]

If the KYB's are the GR-2's, then it's going to be a soft ride or super bouncy depending on the springrate of the teins. those shocks are designed as stock replacements (and also what I was on for a while because I got them cheap!)

I think i put the shorter ones in the back.... its been so long i can't remember.

[ExplodingCake]

Short up front and long on the rear. Tein springs are soft because they are designed for comfort.

It depends on what springs they are. Tein has more than one offering for us.

If they're lower than 1.5", don't expect those KYBs to last very long. They're better than stock, but not made for a drop lower than 1.5". At least most of Tein's spring offerings are fairly soft in terms of spring rate, so that shouldn't be a major issue.

There's no F and R on the springs? Most quality springs are marked front and rear, just so people don't get confused.
Did you buy these from a reputable source? Tein has been a major target for knockoff companies... you may have gotten cheap junk made to look like Tein products

[Tippey764]

The spring on the right is the rear

The spring on the left is the front

close up of the numbers on springs ... they are marked clearly with an and F and R..... so i guess they are on correctly... wen my kybs are blown i may save up for the kyg agx

[deevergote]

AGX isn't made for anything lower than 1.5" either. I learned that the hard way myself with my first setup!

If this turns into a "hey, look at my car" thread, it's going to get deleted.

^^^^^hopefully it won't get there ^^^^

so, OP springs are in and aligned and that pic is of how the car looks now?


if so, now you can do a members ride thread and show it off!!!!
