Anyone know if the TEIN springs are any good?

teins are an awsome setup, but very PRICY..

you can make good combo's ie : groundcontrols & koni yellows or tokiko whites

but yeah, they are quite pricey....

I have not heard of anyone using Tein springs, so, no we don't know

Get Tein's basic entry level suspension setup, if you want Tein product that is. That's what I would do.

I've sold many sets of Tein springs in the past, and everyone has liked them so far.

i've heard good things about their full coil-overs, but the feedback on the springs alone hasn't been of the greatest caliber..

Ive heard from a few people that their coilover setups rust really quickly... Anyone else hear of that??

that's an old problem that was resolved 2-3 years ago.

no rust here nothing bad at all to say about there coilovers don't no about springs thou

Nova_Dust

If the full suspension kit is good, then the springs must be reliable too, no?

Tein coilovers by comparison to other setups are rather "bouncier" than the others That's the best word to describe them I suppose.

Minimum setup for a Tein coilover would probably be the HR series. Anything below that, I think you're best off purchasing Koni's IMO

no one has mentioned that it's not the spring alone that determines ride quality and performance. shocks have a lot do with it. Nice soft springs (little stiffer than stock) with very high quality dampners are the best combo in the world... and then tune body roll by way of sway bars. weight transfer is a good thing!

^^exactly the highest springs rate and drop isnt' always the best thing....and yes shocks etermien the ride alot aswell....I bet the tein springs have a fairly high spring rate probobly similar to the h&r sport's I bet.....get some nice adjustable shocks to go with them and they will be very good I'd imagine....and remember soemthign liek a prokit with perfectly matched dampening will out perform a "race" spring with a poorly dampened shock......

YES, I have Pro Kit and KYB on my Saturn and it's quite nice. I have H&R coilovers on the Civic and that's also very nice... given the price differences, I'd have a hard time deciding on which is better value for the money for me, but I also appreciate the art of susp tuning. Most ppl would never notice the diff, and would likely opt for the cheaper setup.

have you noticed any dreaded sagging?..

b/c we all know about eibach's difficulty in solving that problem..

Yes, and I love it... the stance is just right, and after 3 years it's settled nicely
