need advice on teins

hello, im still pretty new to the nissan world and would need sum advice and comments on these tein s techs,
ok ive done a search but it wasnt enuff to base my decision on. so thas y im askin here....
well if i read everythin correctly the stock shocks tend to blow after awhile, right? well the guy from the shop told me they dont lower that much, which is key cuz i dont want any major damage from potholes or anythin like that. my main concern was the height level it would give me. for the ppl who have them, what do u guys think? i dont think ill be driftin or anythin crazy, maybe once in a while, but not everyday. how is the handling?
the car will pretty much be mildly modded for a very long time, probably boltons and a bodykit and rims. but nuttin crazy. so let me know wat u guys think and advice, good or bad is welcomed.... thnx i appreciate it

I'm going to help you out here, but you should use the search button and search more. The Tein S Tech are not very good springs. They don't lower the car that much and way soft! When I bought my first car it came with KYB shocks and Eibach springs. That combination is great, very nice overall. That combination is more solid and will lower your car more than Tein S Tech springs. You should get that setting. Don't waste your money on Tein S Tech. It's not worth it.

TANTANIUM is right, they are very soft springs. KYB's and eibachs is a perfect setup for you. It will afford drivability and performance. It won't be too harsh of a ride and will allow you to take some tight corners pretty fast....my opinion, and believe it or not I don't sell either of these parts! Probably should though!

I owned them for 3 months. Took the car out to the track and drifted on them. Been there and done it all. Tein S Tech springs sucks. Here is a picture of my first car with Tein S Springs.





If that is nice and low enough for your taste then go for it.

I'm nice enough to give you an answer. So don't push it man

Sup TAM. This may be off the topic, but what did you use to fill the holes where your License Plate originally goes? Is it just bondo & re-paint?

I'm not sure because my bumper was like that. You can just bondo it then sand it down. I think that will work.
