Hey all, I have a 94 GT-S and I’ve purchased now my second set of lowering springs for this car and they do not fit. The first set I bought were completely wrong and the Teins I just ordered came in and they don’t fit either. They’re too small at the top and bottom. I have no idea what to do now I’ve tried to install these things twice I’ve ordered them for this car, and I’ve had the struts out now twice, so getting really frustrated and wondering what the heck it is I’m doing wrong.

Thanks for your time.

I don't think the ST202 ever had SuperStrut as an option, but it's possible someone added it. I think Tein, at least at one point, made springs for both the SuperStrut and standard McPherson strut cars. Perhaps the issue lies there. Maybe it could be the struts if they aren't a reputable brand like KYB, Bilstein, KONI, etc... I can't recall if 5th and 6th gen springs and struts are interchangeable albeit different, but perhaps something is going on there if someone went junkyard shopping for suspension at one point. Which honestly if you're going to lowering springs you should be replacing the mounts and struts anyway if they haven't been recently replaced, so might take a front and rear spring to a local parts house to see if they have the mounts and struts and see if you get a match.
