What's up guys! I've been using Tein H Techs for the longest of time, and so far they have been good but it's about time I got some new springs. I'm looking at the Tien S Techs and noticed they drop more than the H Techs. I like a little drop, but not too fond of being dumped since I do take my car offroading time to time.

So basically, can anyone post pictures of their Subie with Tein S Techs on? I could just google the images but I would personally like to see fellow members pictures and how they like the springs.

Thank you!

 

dont buy s techs

I did my research on it, i'm getting positive and negative reviews.

I would still like to see some pictures of some members rides.

 

check the link i have posted i havent seen many positive reviews. If you want to go that low I would at least go with the 1 grand coils(stance, megan, feal, BC, ST) because your struts will more than likely blow.

A better option would be konis or tokico dspecs with RCE yellow or swift springs. They lower the car a good amount and handle really well.

 

I'll look into it, thank you!

 

Much like the positive reviews on BC BRs, Megans, and Ksports, these are reviews given by people who don't know anything other than that "it looks mad tyte yo". Push this kind of input to the back of your mind, as the people who actually know about the part will be able to tell you scientifically why it's a bad idea.

 

Stay away from S-Techs. Like a noob, I didn't listen to Brfatal and purchased them against his advice. Needless to say, they blew out ALL 4 struts on my 08 WRX with only 50k miles.

They are just too soft for stock struts. Here is how mine looked with them

 

I'll have to heed the warning then, the RCE's look great as well.

 

I run RCE Black on my '12 but I also have Koni struts.. They are great springs for road use. Not too soft not too hard.

 

Just curious how many miles you put on them before they blew out your struts?

Nice! I'm planning to stay on stock struts and go with some RCE yellows maybe.

 

About 10K miles before they blew out.

 

RCE yellows are way more aggressive and I believe are specifically designed for bilstein struts use only ( at least for my car..).. I would be vary worried running such an aggressive spring with stock struts as I can easily see them die quite soon as per what wrx-mike is saying... 10k miles really is nothing for struts.. So go for something less aggressive but to my knowledge RCE makes quality products so just research and do even more research after that before you buy.

 

Yellows are too aggressive for any factory Subaru strut. They are best used with aftermarket adjustable ones.

 

Get swift springs

 

Thats another great and popular option, not too hard on the struts.
