1.5" Front / 1.3" Rear Lowering:

The Tein S.Tech springs lower the Matrix 1.5 inches in the front and 1.3 inches in the rear, providing an aggressive stance while maintaining proper suspension geometry. The moderate drop improves appearance without sacrificing practicality - the Matrix retains adequate ground clearance for daily driving and speed bumps.

Optimized Spring Rates:

Tein engineers each S.Tech application with specific spring rates optimized for the vehicle's weight and suspension geometry. The spring rates are firmer than factory to reduce body roll and improve handling, but not so stiff that ride quality suffers. This balance makes S.Tech springs ideal for daily drivers who want improved handling without harsh ride.

Works with Factory Shocks/Struts:

The S.Tech springs are designed to work with factory shocks and struts, making them an affordable entry-level suspension upgrade. While upgrading to performance dampers is recommended for maximum performance, the S.Tech springs provide noticeable handling improvements even with stock dampers. This allows you to upgrade in stages - springs now, dampers later.

Maintains Comfortable Ride Quality:

Unlike aggressive lowering springs that sacrifice ride quality for performance, the S.Tech springs maintain comfortable ride quality suitable for daily driving. The optimized spring rates provide a sporty feel without being harsh over bumps. This makes S.Tech springs perfect for enthusiasts who want improved handling without compromising daily drivability.
