I bought some Tein Stech springs for my 05, should I install them over the OEM shocks, or buy new ones. Car has 967 mls on it. Would there be any differance? I have 225/35/18's. Anybody with that combo? Thanks!

you dont have to right away but in the long run new shocks would be a good idea

KYB AGX. a lot of people use the combination of KYB AGX with the Tein S.Techs. theres a seller on ebay, Kuruma Motoring, who sells a bunch of stuff for a great price. Verano bought some stuff, i think it was the KYBs and Teins from him, and he had no problems with the transaction Cliff Notes: get KYB AGXs

i had my tein s-tech springs running with my OEM shocks for about 10,000 miles then i had to get some new shocks (tokico HP) but thats also because im at around 45000 miles right now... you should be alright with ur OEM shocks for a while but honestly i think new shocks have been my best mod yet!
