I have been using H-tech and have replaced a rear shock at 10,xxx miles and now again rear shock at 18,5xx miles...

I do have a lot of pot holes around here but still...

Otherwise they ride like a typical Tein spring. Hard. But decent for light to moderate track work. Just not a good long term setup for the street imo..

Just thought I would drop in and share my experience thus far. I've had these springs since the car was very new, and I now have 36k miles. I am sad to report that my OEM shocks have seen better days, and I have now ordered a set of Koni Yellows. How are you guys doing on your OEM shocks?

I have not seen any posts with somebody running Tein S techs on Koni Yellows, so I will probably make my own thread once I get them and have something to report.

Mine has done good for about 39~40k miles. But I have since switched to coilovers about 2 months ago. Not because of shock issue, but just because I wanted to.

Curious to know if anyone has ran these springs with some camber bolts and had the overall handling improve or worsen. I have an opportunity to get these springs for a great deal. Would it better to spend roughly 100-150 for springs with camber bolts or just save for coilovers?
