Tein S Lowering Springs Feedback

Hey,

I am getting Tein S Lowering springs put on my car next week. Their website says that they are designed to be used with OEM shocks, but I just wanted to make sure that I am not going to damage any other suspension components if I don't upgrade to performance spec shocks / struts too. I am not planning on taking on any track twisties, but I do drive fairly...enthusiastically.

Does anyone have the Tein S springs on their Fit? If yes, how is the stock set up holding up or do you have upgraded components?

**Also getting Tanabe Medallion exhaust and AEM cold air intake put on. Still looking for install shop in San Diego, but willing to work with a FitFeak member if they know what they're doing (for cash, of course)

Looking forward to your feedback! Thanks all.

Mine are working out awesome.
No problems at all.
Keeps a little tighter around turns, but the stance looks nice when parked.
Easy install, worth it.
Ride similar to stock ride, but a little stiffer.

is your Fit LHD or RHD? (steering on left or right?)... if on left... did you ask some one to sit in the car while you measure?
