Pics of TEIN S-TECH drop

A few ppl have asked so here is my Tein S-Tech drop on my Fit.

They ride real soft.. i've never bottomed out either.. rated at 1.8 front and 1.2 rear... i'd say its more like 2.0 front and 1.4 rear. I'm selling the springs once my Tanabe GF210s come in.. it was just too low for me especially since i'm sticking with 15s.

nothing is wrong with having 15s, i've just had issues getting around my city with a car that is that low in the front... I really like the look and ride, but I want something a little higher.. personal preference

I think you'll be ok on our roads sirhc... it'll look awesome and more balanced with your 16" wheels and just a touch higher

If I went 16 or 17" wheels i would've kept the springs, but i ended up going with 15s in the end.

Quick answer "No". They are not universal springs. Each car has a different model number and application. Check the Tein website to see if they make specific springs for your car.

Holy crap! Sexy drop...and may not be too functional with some road conditions.
Tein S-techs have a reputation in my past Mazda 3 and Protege clubs for settling a wee bit and going low as hell.

Looks sexy and maybe for those without the OEM skirt package or front lip.

Damn thunderally71, that car looks clean and mean low with 14" steelies and no oem skirt package. I like how the ass end of this car is taken out of the air.

Can you get a shot of how it looks like from behind?
