Need help with Tein spring install...
I bought a set of used Tein S-Tech springs.
I need pics of them installed from the underside. I need to find out which end is up, and I need to know what the instructions said for the recommended cut is on the bumpstops. I looked on tein's website, but the install instructions page comes up with "page not found". Thanks in advance. |

Flat side of the springs go to the top, Cut the bumpstops just below the plastic piece in the center, which is cutting off about an inch. |

SOLUTION FOR BUMPSTOP CUT
OK, I got the official word from Tein on this issue.
The S-Techs require that 1.4 inches be cut off the end using their "A" cut method. They have 4 different ways to cut bumpstops, the different methods can be found in the tech section of their website.
