Tein H-Tech/S-Tech and spring rates

[98spydert]

Ok, I always assumed any lowering spring is going to have a higher spring rate than stock. I also assumed the lower you go, the higher rate the spring would have becaue of less room for travel...

BUT, I'm looking at Tein's Eclipse page for spring rates and their S-Tech spring lowers F 1.3 and R 1.2 with spring rates at 190 and 110. Then their H-tech spring lowers F .9 and R .8 but has spring rates at 210 130.

Now all of those rates are lower than ProStreeOnlines page stating the stock rates are 246 141. What gives? Are some of the numbers wrong or what??? They're all listed as lbs/in


Also, does anyone have either of these spring installed that can give me some feed back? I've remember one or two S tech reviews but never a H tech review. Which shock are you using also. Thanks.

I'm curious too. Wonder if the high tech springs would get along w/ the stock shocks ok..?

My wife is running the teins w/stock shocks on her 97GST. Awesome spring but the shocks are way too soft. Sometimes the tires rub on the inside of the splash guards when going into a dip too fast. My GSX has the techniques w/AGXs. Mine is lower than hers but the shocks are way stiffer so I bounce alot more. Hers' rides smooth, as if they were on stock springs, just lowered.

Does she have the S tech spings or H tech? Thanks for the feed back
