I have a 96 civic ex and i have come across a set of tein lowing springs they only lower the car 1.5 inches and i wanted to see if anyone new anything about the spring or has /had experience with these. Thanks for the help!

honestly go with tein if you want a comfortable ride... a little background on tein...90% of their sales come from the US, and in Japan they are considered junk, but that is mostly cuz there is a lot better stuff in Japan than in the US...

honestly i like skunk2...they are one of the companies that do one of the most R&D out there... but im kinda bias cuz i knew robert @ kingmotorsports...he used to be in the marketing dept. at Skunk2

Get those teins and let me know how they ride/feel. I'm lookin for something to lower the Civic on after winter.

IIRC my brother (he is on here) rolls skunk2 as well. It might be on the CRX and not the Integra though.

To 4sd4dr i like the springs i dont have a alighment yet and have bald tires and they still do really good. The only thing i dont like is that the driver side is a little lower (maybe b/c more weight is on driver side b/c motor) and i would like to go a little lower. When i put my twin cam in (more weight) i think it will be lower and i will like it. I do like that i dont half to worry about scrubbing and messing up my car or fenders. Over all i like the springs they handle good and have a good ride.

Try switching the springs left to right. I take it you ride alone a lot? My Integra did that when I had just springs on it.

i had tein springs on a 97 civic 2 door, they are pretty good and dont sag. Just make sure to go with some good shocks, the original shocks will wear out quickly and start to squeak

Something like this happened to me after installing the Tein Basic coilovers....

It turned out that I missed instaling a spacer on the upper rear mounts. So the shocks were not tight against the upper mount and mada a clunk noise over minor bumps.

2" drop is not that much... you can get 2.5" down with the teins...


I would review the installation manual and make sure you got all the parts installed properly. Just because a shop did the job doesn't mean they can not do it wrong.
