Tein S techs... - Toyota Yaris Forums

pinhead123 · 03-27-2014, 01:15 AM

Hey guys, I just got some tein s techs and was wondering if I should just use them with the stock shocks/struts or get some new ones? I saw that a lot of people get the Tokico blues.. is there any other options other then that? My wheel set up is 195/50/16 (Sparco Assetto gara 16x7) if that helps. Im pretty new to the suspension stuff so any info helps. Thanks!

I think other options would be kyb, trd, tokico hts reds and of course coilovers

You can run your stock shocks and struts, but it's double work when you will eventually swap them out later. Very good chance they won't last their natural lifetimes, either.

KYB is pretty much an OEM replacement (slight upgrade), Tokico HPS is a mild upgrade (and well suited for lowered cars), and Tokico HTS reds gives you the added feature of damping adjustment.

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
