I just finished installing my Tein S*Tech Lowering springs. I bought them a few months ago with plans of matching them up with some KYB AGX Struts. Well a few bills popped up and away went the suspension fund . I couldn't stand seeing them sitting in the closet anymore so I took the up to work and put them on the stock struts. I'm a tech at North Point Toyota so I have all the tools needed and did the job in just under 2 hours. The cars stance is perfect I think and the ride quality is great. Not to stiff and a LOT less body roll. I've heard bad things about using lowering springs with stock struts but the ride seems totally different from the way others claimed it would be. I don't plan on leaving it like this for very long as the suspension fund is growing again but I'd say that this would be a great mod for a daily driver that's just looking for the lowered look along with less body roll for a price that's hard to beat. Sorry no before and after pics, it's dark out now so I'll take some shots tomorrow and post them.

over time the ride should get worse and worse as your stock struts life has been shortened by the lowering springs and stiffer spring rates

but i think its kind of iffy because my friend has eibach prokits on his stock struts (on se-r) and they have been fine for years lol
