so I've got some TEIN shocks for the wagon, not that impressed, they seem kinda lazy on rebound, and/or quite softly sprung for a 'lowered' spring, anyone with other impressions?

shock? do you mean a coilover set?
if so are they new?

slow to rebound is normal for a sport shock

coil overs or standard shocks/lowering springs?

I have had both.
Lowering springs seem ok, a hell of a lot better then factory! but still soft, Depends what shocks you have aswell and what condition they are in.
Ive now got coilovers, they are solid mofos but not over the top and still give a nice ride. Handles better then i expected aswell.

I knew that'd get your attn Rev'!
Theyre the coil over combination as i had hoped the title implied, second hand i got them, but they're all even and appeared good on the dyno at stocks.

yeah, they've been in the car for aboot 20,ooo. I brought them to replace a set i have consisting 2 koni's and 2 liberty wagon, with adjustable platform, one of the liberty wagon shocks has failed and it was cheaper to get these TEIN's than get the pair turned into Koni's. I'm not saying there is anything WRONG with them, I'm just after other user feedback.
