Quick Suspension Question
this is a pretty basic question, but since i have virtually zero experience with suspension work (besides oem replacement) i need to ask: I will be purchasing some tein s-tech spring very soon to go on all four corners. i still have oem-spec shocks (they were replaced ~10k miles ago and are in great shape). my question is, do i need any other adjustments (camber and such) or can i just do a direct swap with these teins? thanks in advance

You'll need one of these if you lower your FC, otherwise the alignment guy won't be able to get your rear camber within specs.

i'm not trying to slam it or anything, i just happen to be getting a good deal on these tein's that i couldnt pass. i think it says approx. 1.5" drop (a little more than i expected), do i still need these?

if you're looking for performance, i would steer away from s-techs. they are the lowest and the softest of FC drop springs, so basically they offer the most comfort and worst performance. hard driving with any tires much better than stock will most likely bottom out your shocks.
s-techs are gravy if you're just cruisin and want the car to look nicer. but if you're after cornerin prowress.. def look elsewhere.

thanks for the info, i think i might just do that. i was kinda looking for a balance of all those things (look nice, drive somewhat comfortably and also add some cornering enhancement). i might install these for now and see how they ride and then make a decision from there.
