Really silly question all but after some frantic searching no results...   s:( :( s:(  

Can anyone advise me confidently which of the Tein S Tech Springs are for the front and which are for the back? I have just taken a front one off any want to make sure that I am putting the correct lowering spring on before replacing it!!

Sat in my garage staring at bits so please help!!!!!

Thanks!!

Cheers!!

Had a nightmare fitting them! In the rain, then the dark, and if it could go wrong, it almost always did!!

Got them on though and the visual effect is immensly different!! Very impressed!!!

Can't wait to drive it to feel the difference!! Just a shame that it's off the road until the end of the month!!!

Lookin forward to seeing how they look on your car, wouldn't mind a set myself (in the summer, not a chance would I fit them in this weather!) where did you end up getting them from?

Bought them from a member on here. The spring look great and the car looks so much better low down! I'd fit them myself again if I had too as it's quite a satisfying experience, but I think I'll start early on a Saturday next time just in case!!  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

I like the way your car looks anyway and lowering it always makes things better IMO   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

I work 6 days a week including weekends so I think a week off is needed for me to get stuff on my car

Thanks!! I already think it's looking good! I just need to get it out and about and enjoy it now!!

As for the jobs, I'm feeling a week off to get some bits done on mine myself!! I've got a list a mile long and it seems to keep being added to!!  s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

Tbh I've been trying to get myself to a meet or 2 to get a better look at your car cos I love your front bumper and I'm torn between bodykit and spats...

I plan on buying loads and then putting them on in 1 week, maybe with a day-by-day thread on here but as I've just got bits and pieces lying round the house at the mo unfitted it's killing me not putting them on lol

I have managed to spend a small fortune in the time that I have had mine and I have put very little moneys worth actually on my car!  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  

Are you able to make it to the Trafford meet in March? My car will be back on the road by then with any luck so you can gladly nosey at it there! I also need to get some more pictures of it up here in the garage!!

Looking good mate and dont forget it will settle down quite a bit lower once you have driven it and the springs have settled so watch out for those high kerbs.  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
