Apparently they don't offer that much of a drop over standard, well 25mm front, 20mm rear, but tbh I'm not going for looks I'm going for usability, plus it'd sharpen the handling a lot. I had TEIN S-techs on my old starlet GT turbo and even though it was a pig of a car to drive it did corner very flat, not that the EP3 with a JDM RARB has much body roll issues anyway :)

So the TEINs are on.. they sit PERFECT, They haven't settled yet and the cars filthy so I'll get some pics tomorrow but as of right now they sit how I'd want them to be, but a tiny bit lower wouldn't hurt. I have some pics but I cba to upload cause spent all day doing the springs :lol:

 

Quality - 9/10 - It's TEIN, everything is as it should be, very confident in these.

 

Ride and Handling - 9/10 - The ride is stiff, not back breakingly bad or anything but not what I'd call supple. Coming off of speedbumps now there is no give/bounce in the suspension, around corners there is less body roll and more feel, this coupled with the JDM rear anti roll bar makes it very very fun to drive and very confidence inspiring.

 

Scene Points - 11/10 - It's TEIN. It came with two stickers that say TEIN. JDM yo.

 

Overall I'm very happy, it sits better than I expected it to and my word does it handle well now, and I haven't got it re-aligned yet! Bring on Monday. 

 

I'm going to get a temporary alignment on Monday to last me till after Mimms then I'll buy camber bolts and get an FRSU for sure :)
