Without aftermarket performance struts and shocks, there shouldn't be much difference. Your S&S's will be low performing when the car is lowered. The Tanabe is 1.8frt, 1.3rr. I have a set for sale if you want. Their new. I'm running full coilovers instead.

lowering springs

I have a question about lowering my honda jazz '08. I recently change my springs to a generic brand. (205/45/17) Now the rear drop sits higher than the front drop and the ride is terrible, giving it a hot rod look which I don't like. I was planning on changing the springs to Eibach Sportline. I guess the question I'm trying to ask is: if I change to a different brand of springs will this occur again?

i'd definitely go tien.


fsutree, the sportlines are the lowest you can go so great choice
i believe it's 2.0 front, 1.8 back, so it should look great, and i don't think it will give a hotrod look at all

yeah im stuck on teins or skunk2s. i think theyre pretty similar in height, the skunks may be stiffer but if i remember the overall look might be similar?

Does anyone know how tiens ride compared to skunk2s? Im shopping for springs next

Tein S-Techs.... IMO

I love the drop, and the ride is fine for where I live. Not the best roads but the stock shocks handle them fine. Plan on going to the Stance coil-overs next spring though. My buddies EP is on the Sport-lines, terrible, he also is going to a coil-over in spring.
