Bilstein and Tein S-Techs??

Anybody hear of any problems of using the Tein S-Tech springs on the Bilstein Strut's? Ride issues?

I can answer this as I already tried this..
Rear springs for MR are totally different from GSR springs. MR rear springs are shorter and stiffer than GSR rear springs.
I tried both tanabe GF210 and tein H-tech on bilstein.
Tanabe dropped rear about .2inches and Tein H-tech *RAISED* rear about .3 inches!
Front springs are same length as GSR's though.
Trust me and don't do it!

I haven't tried these, but you can also get springs for you MR from www.kansaiss.co.jp
It's all in Japanese but the important bits are:

41,790JPY
Front stiffness 4.9
Rear stiffness 5.8 (kg/mm?)

Lowers the front by around 35-40mm and the rear by around 25-30mm. They are specific to the MR.

Don't know if they ship to the US however.
