Tien springs (both kinds) are thee worst possible springs you could have purchased for your B14. Thee worst. You have them teamed up with stock replacement struts. That must absolutely suck.
You need to upgrade your struts as well. AGX or better yet, CSK's.
Yeah, what he said.
One reason I did some research before looking at the Tien springs. I almost made the same mistake.
Just reading Lucino's reviews makes me more anxious than before about getting these springs. That and makes me realize I may want to get some strut tower bars. Maybe upgrade the stock sway bars also.
Great writeups on all of the above Lucino. Hope your track time went well.
Now all you sukkas get off the forums and take your Mom's out to lunch. Gotta give mine a call. Happy Mother's day.

well guys, looks like I can place the order today!
For everyone else out there, I still have sets available for B13 and B14. You can still order!

I know that MOMO hubs crush and save you. In case of an accident those long bolts in my hub are supposed to go right thorough my heart... ...so that I don't have to suffer, and die happy.
I left the ziptie on the rear left strut and have yet to get it beyond the upper third of the shaft. Struts have stayed on 2/f 4/r. I like having the security of knowing that it would take a catastrophic hit to bottom out.

forgive my n00bness, but why is the distance from arch to center cap important?
its a more accurate way of measuring the drop of the car relative to the wheels.
The distance from arch to hub is a fixed distance that is only changed by the addition of the Road Magnet springs.
If i had measured from the arch to the floor, it wouldnt be a universal number that people could expect to replicate when installing the RM's, since people have different sized rims and tire sidewalls.

Nope. Just ebay strut tower bars and Road magnet springs. The ebay bars were on the car for both vids.
Progress rear bar is on the way.
Progress rear sway made a HUGE difference on my B14 (base model like yours) in conjunction with a stock B13 FSB. I still roll a little more AutoX'ing than your car does with just the springs though, very impressive!
