Tein springs FK8 Type r

[2015FB6]

Looks great AbpSi814 and CTR-19821! Keep the pics coming AbpSi814 as I am thinking of doing the same setup on my CW Type R. I bent all 4 stock wheels on a raised expansion joint in a construction zone and the setup you have is one of my favorites!! Also as they settle and you get some more seat time, let us know how you like the springs. Thanks!

I’ll take better pictures later. But here’s. Quick one for now. There’s about 200+lbs in the hatch FYI. So I wouldn’t think the rear will sit so low. But even so, no running at all

Wow this is definitely a nice drop

Can you post what springs you are on and what size wheels your running ?

 

[AbpSi814]

thanks ! i order mine soon ! keep updated pictures without 200 lbs

Update: the ride is very compliant. Very stock like, I’m very satisfied with the ride quality and drop. Feels like tein doesn’t get as much love as they should.

I'm looking at a similar set up. What's your wheel offset and any fender work?

Titan7 19x9.5 +45. Folded front fender tabs. Was rubbing slightly.

I know this is an old thread but I wanted to resurrect it and contribute to this forum. Just installed the s.tech springs yesterday and I am loving them so far. Even drop and very good ride quality. I took before ride height measurements, I’ll take some after next week. Springs rates are proportionally stiffer front and rear vs. stock which was important to me because I daily drive and don’t track my car.

I’m running 18x9.5” +38 with 255/40 and no rubbing with front tabs bent in.

? Yeah, the 40 profile looks proportional in real life but pretty fat in pictures. They came mounted on the Advans for a few extra bucks so I said why not. I wasn’t sure of the direction my car would ultimately go when I bought them and they look good at stock height.

I gotta say, daily comfort is amazing for my commute. They soak up the shitty roads here really well. They also numbed up the steering feel a bit so it’s a give and take

When it comes time to buy a new set I will more than likely go the 265/35 route.

I will also say, I am loving the Teins so far. I was not expecting the car to ride this well on the rougher surfaces I drive on.

Yeah the teins ride comfortably. Although, I dislike how they feel in comfort mode. But I never drive in comfort anyways..

Same here, comfort even feels under dampened on stock springs

Tein s tech on 18x9.5 et35, 255/35tire. Only complaint is they aren’t coilovers and ride a tad bouncy in comfort but in s/r mode they are pretty good.
