Default Tien Spring upgrade too low...

Im getting new wheels and wanted to get the Tien suspensions, is the car going to be too low as to go over bumps and inclines?

Sorry for the people who have seen this question already i just need urgent help, my wheels are almost here.

Im also planning on getting the Greddy Lip.

I have the Eibach pro-kit which offers .8" drop in the front and 1.2" in the rear on a coupe (little more on roadsters because of the extra weight I believe). Before my body kit, my car was fine for speed bumps and inclines. Post body kit however, speed bumps are questionable depending on size and inclines are approached slowly and cautiously.

nicolaycastro: I think you wont be disappointed with the Tein S Techs. That is what I have. Its doesnt slam your car but there is a noticeable drop. I think the drop is perfect and I don't have problems with speed bumps or anything! I think you'll like it. It drops the car approximately .75" after it settles!

I love my Teins, all corners are height adjustable for whatever drop you want. I have the Tein Flex but most of the Tein systems have this feature.

I also have the Tein S-Tech springs, and am very happy with them. The drop is about .7 all the way around. I got these springs for $165 shipped.

well mines are supposed to be here by tusday hopefully, they are coming from california, i gave a deposit of 500, but the whole package with nittos instalation, tax and everything is 2800, so when they come in ill give the rest 2300. I havent seen them in a daytona blue either, but as soon as i get them ill get the springs, and post pics.

How much did you pay for yours?
