The guy at the shop swears that they are better springs than the H&R and will match Koni yellow shocks well.
He says they are a japanese brand vs. the H&R which isn't.
The price was $259 for a set of 4. Is that reasonable?

The Koni yellow he was selling are $900, is that a little overpriced?

Talk to the TCC trusted vendors. I think they have better prices

jsut because its "mad tite jdm" doesnt' mean its' better...what a tool

mourad

The guy was azn so...

I'm more concerned about the handling I'll get if I spend a thousand bucks on koni shocks. I wanna make sure they pair up nice. The rest, I don't really care.

id take european springs over jap springs

mourad

yeah, I would too but he has a pretty good price going.

Jugglez

Astroboy from JDMwarehouse can beat that price. PM him or go into the GB/Sales forum and look up one of his threads.

punkindrublic

or if your on a budget he also sells tokico illumina's for a bit cheaper but its just as good a shock

mourad

I've been trying to get some from him but he says he's all sold out.

punkindrublic

oh well thats a problem then i suppose... for the price its almost worth the wait.. unless you can get lucky on ebay

mourad

I'll wait, I don't mind, I just wanted a rough estimate on what to expect on a good set of koni's and a set of h&r's. that's all

imported_SiR_YO

the guy was azn so...... what's that supposed to mean?

I'm asian, but I won't ***** out JDM **** if I know European stuff is better..

imported_Torrey

What does being ASIAN have to do with anything?

mourad

lol Relax guys, that's not meant as an insult in any way.

My point was that he might have been narrow-minded enough that he wouldn't promote any products that are domestic or european.

Sorry you took that the wrong way! I should have elaborated further.

sorry man i gotta say H&R sport springs will handle much better than tein s-tech springs (i have had both). the tein is a softer ride, while the h&r sport is a bit stiffer. on the same car, the h&r outhandles the s-tech springs. the reason behind this, is the spring rate is much higher on the h&r and the s-tech springs were just meant to keep a stock level of comfortability with a bit of sporty feel.

and if you are going to use koni yellow's you might as well use h&r race, as the koni yellows can take hardcore abuse, and have a lifetime rebuild warranty but you will need a camber kit for sure, and your ride will be much stiffer. would recommend it if u see a lot of track time. if not so, h&r sport should be good.

mourad

Great info.
The car will be mostly for street use, I hear a lot of advice to go with the H&R sport. john lo is the first guy who apparently owned both Tein and H&R so your opinion matters more than those who just pull advice out of their rear end.
I'll stick with the H&R sports then. Thanks!
