I am changing my whole suspension system, and I came at a really hard choice. I bought tein s techs, and my old springs are intrax(pretty stiff). The teins seem softer, so will that mean it will bounce more? Correct me if i'm wrong please. Also, which of the two types of springs will take corners better and have better overall performance? Oh, and I will have KYB GR2's as the shocks and struts, and I know that teins will raise my car compared to intraxes. I want a good balance between ride quality and performance. Please tell me your experience and what you guys would prefer. Thanks!!!

Teins are a little stiffer than stock. I personally would go with the Teins. I have heard nothing but good feedback from them, and I am waiting until I have some money to put mine on.

true, bad shocks do lead to bounciness. The stiffer the springs the less stress shocks take. I'm wondering though, do stiffer springs make the car bounce more? I'm thinking it does, but I'm not so sure. confused.gif

stiffer springs wont affect the cars bounce to much, its when you adjust the strut and make it stiff.

TEIN hands down, better product.
