Default Thinking about lowering

Just wondering, will changing out to Tein lowering springs make a difference in ride quality and comfort?

I know for a fact that coilovers will, not sure about lowering springs.

Thanks!

I know there's been alot of feedback about the Tein H Tech springs being a smoother ride...

I've installed Teins and can say that I feel lke it has taken a lot of the "bounce" out of the already (IMO) good suspension. Don't misunderstand this though for a softer ride...it is pretty firm, but this IS a sports sedan. I'm not tracking this car or anything crazy...I daily drive it but i have always liked a firmer ride and the looks of a lowered car so the springs for me was the right way to go. Good Luck.

+1 Teins

I like my tein springs a lot. They settled to a nice look and ride comfort definetely improved.

+1 tein. I too felt a bit smoother and less bouncier ride. It was a perfect choice for me especially with a 2 month old that rides in the back seat..

To my opinion, they are the best choice in lowering springs. Ill let you drive my car if you would like, to feel the difference.
