Have a 02 wagon debating on putting tien s
Or some ebay brand ive heard so much mixed reviews about tien being bad for the car but arnt the all around the same drop..

 

At least make it readable. If drop is all you want, might as well go Bc's.

 

If you dont mind blowing out your struts go for it.

 

Do it right if you are going to spend money to drop your ride.

Get a set of AGX struts, some good swift springs and be done with it. If you feel you really need to go the strut route, go with a GOOD set tuned for street driving, KW makes a entry level street set called the ST. LIC sells them and can install and set them up for you.

OH, and don't pull in pillowballs, run good group N top hats. Pillowballs are made for tracks only they were never designed to handle the day to day driving around, smacking potholes and such.

 

I wouldn't even go AGX, since other than adjustable rebound, they are basically the same as your shocks. If you want good shocks you're going to have to spend a bit more and get Koni yellow inserts. Swift is the only one who makes wagon specific springs and those are definitely what I would get.

Tien is not an ebay brand. They still wouldn't be my choice.

The KW ST are garbage. KW is a great name, but their cheap stuff is not made by Ohlins like the race stuff is.

 

This. Don't bother with springs unless they are wagon specific. You'll end up wanting to even out the wheel gap thats always bigger in the front.

 

This recommendation is just as poor as vindicating his wanting to buy Tein S-Techs. BCs are junk.

KW V1/STs aren't junk though. They are the best entry level coilovers, but keep in mind you need to add a few hundred dollars because you need tophats. Either way, if the OP is not racing competitvely, coilovers are a bad investment.

No matter what springs the OP gets, he will need to get new struts too assuming he's still on the original ones. That point was a good one.

 

KWs aren't as bad as Megan/BC/etc... but they still aren't something I'd put on my own car.

 

RCE/Swift Springs and Koni Yellows.

 

Feal 441's?

 

Epic engineering makes springs for the wagon as well. That's what I bought, and I'm going to run them with some KYB.

 

This

 

Racelands.

 

Would it be bad if i just put the front to on and left the back with the stocks i really just wana lower that front gap..

 

Lol no do not do that.
