Arr so it is once again time for yee olde stories.
Arr! So, thar i be sitting by my lonesome in yee olde office, whar i uncovered the lost treasure, RM430 Tein s-tech medium springs for me Chin Chin La! "Avast matey, i be interested in yon Tein springs", says me to the youngun over yonder internet. His answer to me be, "Ok".
Ok writing like a pirate is actually quite difficult, i think i will stop now.
Anywho, managed to get them springs into the Chin Chin La today. Was extremely excited. It finally was going to be handle like shit over bumps and holes in the road, and that's exactly what i wanted bwahahaha!
My initial impression was, my steering felt tighter and slightly heavier, and that it was stable over anything. Very proud i must say! 5kg in the front and 3.6kg in the rear makes for a shored up ride. I was going to test it out tonight but, on the way back from the alignment, camber and tire thing type place, my speedometer and mileage meters stopped working. :( Apparently the meter cable broke (Farking Proton >:P). My boss figured it was the suspension and that it was too hard, which broke the wire. Of course, he was making fun at the expense of the Chin Chin La (Chin Chin La abusing MIVEC driving boss edited: for life). >:(
Hopefully i can get that fixed tomorrow 'cos i can hardly wait to run her full hard at speed.
Ahhh .... 1 step closer to making her into a real car ;D

In the relentless pursuit of perfection (apologies to Lexus) I predict that you will be unsatisfied with the S-Techs/shocks will be blown and you will be running coilovers in a couple of months.
I'm thinking of moving to coilovers soon too (budget allowing)!
considering my shocks are virtually only 2 months old and the springs are only 16days old i don't think i will have any trouble at all. It's only an inch lower in the front and rear. Which is well within the spec of my shocks :D
i have a fellow driver who uses the s-techs on his waja.. looks real good and also improved performance... i feel that its the way to go if ur looking for good quality springs for making the car look good and a lil performance as a bonus.. but if you want it the other way, performance mainly and looks as a bonus, should opt for coilovers... the s tech is good though. nice choice.
s-techs aren't so bad. i took em for a test run they are pretty darn good compared to OEM stuff. coilovers definately would the route to go but you have to know what is best for you and driving style.
i understand that you have trouble adjusting to your current setup right? right now the s tech suit my purpose and improve my handling a lot more than i expect truthfully
trouble adjusting with the setup? oh. u mean my post in the r3 forum? instead of adjusting to the setup, i have already adjusted it to my way of driving too.. was playing with the height and cambers too. so, its real nice now. neways, glad to hear the s tech's fit like a glove for u!
Key point to note is that for now part hahaa
