Samurai 20V Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hi guys... I have a set of unknown lowering springs on my car, they were fitted when I bought it. The ride was a bit hard so I bought some new OEM shocks in an effort to improve it. I attempted to fit them today, but it turns out they have lost their tension, its showing in the damage to the bump stops, and the saddles. I would like to go with adjustable sus, but really out of the budget at the moment, so looking to go for replacing the spring. I read thru the threads on here, seems mixed reviews on the TEIN vs Eibach. I am leaning toward the TEIN based on the pics I have seen, looking for any other info to help with the decision. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I'd go with Eibach or a set of late model stock TT springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Thanks for the replies guys.. Seems Eibach it is! Nic, any reason why you saying late model TT springs? Are they different from the early models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
