TEIN vs H&R
 

I am looking to buy springs for my 99 SIR
I don't go racing or anything, therefore I just need something that will give me a nice look and nice ride. Also, I am planning to have these on stock shocks and 16" rims in the future, but for now on stock sir wheels
So It came down to TEIN s tech and H&R springs.
I hear TEINS lower 1.9" front and 1.7" rear
and H&R lower 1.75" front and 1.5" rear

So what should I go for, and are those number correct?
Advantages/Disadvantages
Would there be any issues with rubbing/camber?
Thanks

I say go with the tein s tech springs they si a bit lower and i doubt there will be any issues with rubbing , jus get teh correct tire size

I have TEIN's and they only lowered my car 1.3"

The ride is amazing.

TEIN :D

Exhausted subject - You'll find more opinions by doing a search.

I went through the same dilemma asking the same question. In the end, I trusted a german suspension component over a japanese one. I'm very happy with my H&R's.

:dito:

tein

my buddy has them on his sir, and nothing but good feedback about em

DJTre >> Does he have any pics posted of his car.

I think I'll probably go with TEIN.

nah, he's not a member on this site.
I'll look for a pic of an sir riding on teins though.

click me

click on the "photo front', 'photo rear', 'photo side' to view pics of them on civics.

I didn't get a chance to look through the pics, but there may be a pic of them on an sir, not sure.

Thanks man

it needs to be lower..can u really lower it that much though?? it says that you can lower tein's 1.8 front 1.7 rear

springs don't have a good drop height like coils..but u get a stiffer ride...

Looks good to me!

OK but the thing is when you comapre let's say front lowering height in both TEIN and H&R
so it's 1.9" vs. 1.75" ... thats only .150" difference...I mean is this even noticable???? Therefore, I don't think there is much difference in what the car will look like when lowered with either spring....the difference I wanna know is in quality, performance, and I also heard TEINs were designed to work with stock shocks....if thats true, why are they softer than H&R ... shouldn't stiffer springs be more forgiving on the shocks?????

torrey said he only got 1.3 out of his...i dunno if thas the height he wanted or if that is the max height...

u r planning on getting the s-tech right??

Yes planning but H&R seems more attractive...german engineering lol

the lower the better baby!!!!!....... but yup.... i have h&r springs... the ride is great.... but im thinking about tein flex suspension.... :leafs:

:nods:

Don't go any lower than that

have u seen my car yet????

2.3" front/rear

PMM me and ill send u pics of my 2000 SIR...
and ill show u how slammed in at, but here is the pic... i wont be driving in the winter with this vehicle.

i survived it though. just get some winters and PLOW, id recommend taking the lip off though.

do i rub???? hehe.... NO.
only when i hit these insane BUMPS on the LINK.... hamilton peeps will know what bump im talkin about right between Garth and Mohawk... that damn construction not done yet... and i bottom out on the ride side lane... only when going 120km/h

what do you guys think a fair price for a set of H&R is
