    Post pics of your 8th gen on Tein S

    I'm currently in the market for a different suspension setup, one that's a little easy on my back during the daily drive. :D See classified section for sale of current setup. Anyway, I was wondering if you Tein S guys can post up pics of your 8th gen (98-02 Corolla), specially if you have a 15" wheel setup. I'm not too sure if the ride height will still look decent with my current 15x8 wheel setup. Thanks in advance!

    Hey, I got an idea. I have a set of NEX SS coilovers that I'm selling because they're too soft for aggressive driving, but perfect for daily driving. They're fully height adjustable too. My wheels are tucked right now. And you have Ksports which are stiffer which is what I want. How about we trade sets? My set has less than 500 miles on them. I also PMed you too. The problem is that I don't have a spare set to roll on if we trade, so I can front the money for good faith, have you ship your Ksports to me, I'll install them, and ship the NEX SS to you, where you can refund the fronted money I gave you. :)

    you're shocks have probably blown out already, they're not really meant for lowering.

    i know that bouncing feeling unfortunately too :sad:

    They should match up fine since S-techs aren't stiff at all.

    Pretty much any spring from a reputable brand offers an improvement over stock springs.

    Alot of 8th gen owners from what I've seen either ride on Tein S-techs or H&R springs.

    Actually, they can. Springs control ride height and feel. Struts and shocks dampen them. If they don't dampen, they bounce. It could be a combination of both of them.
