I can install them myself. Also RedGTS their are only 2 actual makers of exhause Magnaflow,Greddy, APEXI and a couple others are exactly the same and Flowmasted injen and the other larger brands are all made out of the same warehouse. Anyways I am just asking about the ride I know some of the springs are rwally bouncy I dont want that.
Manaflow is same as RRM
but Greddy is 100% made in japan, i've been waiting for a month for my exhaust , cuz the next shippment from japan to arrive at US is about early April

yeah i bought tein springs for my 04 lancer....within 6 months i blew my shocks even though it was advertised not to go too low to kill them.
What happened is it was fine when first installed, but after time it kept going lower and lower, till finally my struts sounded like a cheap motel bed
i'm debating whether to buy springs to lower my car or just save up and go with coil overs

but what you said is correct, if people can afford Tein, they wouldnt choose H&R or RRM, just like no one would be stupid enough to choose RCA and give up using Sony

yea......my 04 was getting really bouncy and squeaky towards the end.....i had like...20k mile on the springs and it was embarrassing driving in parking lots....and having to hear my car squeak.
Yeah i bought the tein s-tech from RRM, I dont reallly want a STIFF ride.....i just want to lower it, and increase handling a little better without sacrificing smooth riding, and my struts
You think i should buy the g.r.i.p. springs??? i'm currently trying to search for other members who've bought them at this moment

the reason of changing the springs would cause the damage to the shocks becuz the distance for the shocks to stretching has been shortened
if you drive a lil bit faster to run over the speedbump or hit curb, the shocks dont have enough space to stretch and release the pressure, the bottom part broken and leak oil then the suspension is gone...
i hope you understand what am i talking about lol

yo remember tein s-tech werent made for 08 but they fit so take that into consideration... id rather buy something designed for the weight of our car than something that'll fit but was designed for older lancer model

there are so many reasons, better quality control, better making method, better material?<- this one im not sure, but i've watched a long video about interviewing at Japan tein's factory, shown the whole process of how they make coilovers and tell whats the difference btw their suspension and the other brand's
but what you said is correct, if people can afford Tein, they wouldnt choose H&R or RRM, just like no one would be stupid enough to choose RCA and give up using Sony

So you're basing your opinion on Tein being the best based on a video made about the Tein factory? Yeah, that's not biased at all. wrong, it is all about the ride's height, the road condition and the driving habit

Hey look, another spring thread where someone asked for the pros opinion and we get another f-fest of arguing. BIG SUPRISE
To the person who started this thread: No one will give you an answer that will settle everything. You brought up the GRIP springs because you want them so go f-ing buy them and end this madness. Thanks.

LOL ya tell me about it I saw the other threads but no one gave a direct answer. I just wanna know if it is worth $200 to get the springs. Yet again does anyone have them on their vehicle and how are they doing? Blown shocks and how long have you had them on?

No one has had the car long enough for trouble. Ask around the end of summer.
As far as I remember the RRM springs are the cheapest (price wise) out there, so if you are just looking to get the lowest cost then there is your answer.
Seriously you will never get an answer, just buy something and hold your breath that you like it
