Why all of a sudden is everyone and there brother selling these? I have seen like 3 new threads for these for sale in the last 2 weeks.

Whats the deal?

People are realizing that they are the equivalent of sportlines. Too low, too soft.

I was going to replace my current set up with the Teins, but I decided to hell with it and go stock. I wondered the same thing

b14_VZR · 01-20-2007, 04:08 AM

maybe they are sick of the back aches from all the bouncing....

SLOW SR_ · 01-20-2007, 09:07 AM

They are garbage,I still have a set sitting in my garage.

Sentrixx · 01-20-2007, 05:03 PM

^^ see this is my thought exactly. If people know what kind of drop they are and know that they are not good for our cars then why do they still keep on buying them.

Nostrodomas · 01-20-2007, 08:23 PM

Shhh, I have a pair coming up for sale.....

b14_VZR · 01-20-2007, 10:05 PM

^^haha me too^^^ but like sentrixx said, people will still buy them

i just picked up a 200sx with these springs and blown suspension. i just replaced the struts with gr-2 just because the price i got them and i HATE the ride. i heed to get some stock springs.

fuel2 · 03-08-2007, 12:03 AM

i didnt know they were that bad is the ride that bad ???????

SR20 91 SE-R · 03-08-2007, 10:33 AM

to bouncy for my taste. but............ i just have gr-2's not agx's

se-riousclassic · 03-08-2007, 10:35 PM

I have s-techs on agx struts and it is not bouncy. I have the front strut on 2 and the back on 8. If you don't have any type of adjustable struts do not get these.

I think you are misreading something. I am sure you responded when I was still editing my post. Your numbers quoting me, are not what I have in my post after I edited it.

You have a 1.5 inch drop with the S-Techs.

You have a 1 inch drop with the H-Techs.

SR20 91 SE-R · 03-09-2007, 12:16 PM

Uh...anybody got a clue?

2.4 inches is nowhere near "approximately a 1.5 inch drop." Not even close. It would leave you with 6/10's of an inch of travel.

A 1.1 inch drop is sort of near "approximately a 1.5 inch drop."

There is some confusion evident, anybody know for sure???

I could give them a ring. No problems.
