just tenzo springs???
i was wanting to lower my ride, i dont have alot of money, just wanted to know if i could use tenzo r springs with my stock shocks and if it would be a horrible ride, i dont mind a lil bumpy but not alot.
or if i get a different kind of spring, would it be a bad ride with just the springs???

you'll get a rough ride, and you will end up blowing your stock shocks.

Those springs suck more than cut springs. I had a pair (never ran them in my car) and everyone i knew who used them hated them so i decided to sell em to some kid for 20 bucks.

When I bought the car, it already had sprint 2 inch drop springs on it with stock struts and shocks. It was a little bumpy but nothing horrible and I never had any problem with them blowing out. You can run them on stock ones but it's a better idea to get the appropriate struts.

I've been rockin the Tenzo R Springs in my Eclipse for the past few years and i LOVE THEM. Haven't changed my shocks at all either....probably have about 10,000 miles on em and when people ride in my car i always get compliments on how(factory) it rides. So i guess its the luck of the draw if your car rides good or bad with these springs......Oh and i'm runnin a 35 Series Tire on a 19 inch rim and it still rides nice.........

the place I take mine to charges 25 a wheel but i do them myself. Not sure what the rates are where you live but yeah. I say do them yourself if you have the tools and the knowledge. Just a note: If you don't know what you're doing, don't try to do them on your own. I've seen people get hurt because they didn't take the proper steps.

Springs are a pain, you def have to know what you are doing, and you have to be pretty strong.

Not really. My friend and I just popped em on easily. (but these were crazy lowering springs, not stock)
There's also this tool known as a spring compressor. lol.
