The Tein S.Tech Springs are designed for Ford Focus MK3/III ST250 owners (2012-2014) looking to achieve a more aggressive stance and enhanced handling. They offer a noticeable drop in ride height while maintaining compatibility with original equipment (OE) dampers, providing a balanced improvement in performance and aesthetics. However, users should be aware that the ride may become firmer, and professional installation is recommended.

The main benefits are a lowered ride height for a more aggressive look and improved handling characteristics due to a lower center of gravity and potentially stiffer spring rates.
Tein S.Tech Springs are designed to be used in conjunction with OE (Original Equipment) dampers. However, for optimal performance and longevity, matching them with performance dampers is often recommended, though not strictly required.
The exact lowering amount varies by vehicle application. For the Ford Focus MK3/III ST250, specific kits offer different drop levels, such as front 30mm/rear 23mm or front 40mm/rear 35mm, among others. Please check the specific product variant for precise figures.
Yes, a professional wheel alignment is absolutely essential after installing lowering springs to ensure proper tire wear, vehicle stability, and handling.
Yes, lowering springs generally result in a firmer ride compared to stock springs. The S.Tech springs aim for a balance, but a noticeable increase in ride firmness is expected.
Tein typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific warranty terms may vary by region and are best confirmed with the retailer or Tein directly.
While DIY installation is possible for experienced individuals with the correct tools, it is a complex and potentially dangerous procedure. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is strongly recommended for safety and proper function.
Ensure all mounting hardware is properly torqued and that the silencer rubber (if applicable) is correctly installed and seated. Re-check spring seating in the perches.
Verify that the springs are correctly installed on both sides and that the vehicle has settled. A professional alignment is essential and can sometimes correct minor settling issues.
This may indicate that the springs are too low for your driving conditions or that the original dampers are not optimally matched. Consider consulting with a suspension specialist.
The S.Tech springs are designed for a firmer ride. If the ride is excessively harsh, ensure the correct springs for your application were installed and that the OE dampers are in good condition. Damper compatibility is key.
Compatibility: This specific Tein S.Tech Spring Kit is designed for the Ford Focus MK3/III ST250 models manufactured between 2012 and 2014. It is crucial to verify the vehicle's exact model year and trim to ensure correct fitment.
Setup: Installation of lowering springs is a complex procedure that requires specialized tools and knowledge. It is highly recommended to have these springs installed by a qualified mechanic or a performance tuning shop. The process typically involves removing the existing suspension components, compressing the old springs, installing the new S.Tech springs, and then reassembling the suspension system. Proper alignment after installation is critical.
Care: To maintain the longevity and appearance of the Tein S.Tech Springs, regular visual inspection for any signs of damage or corrosion is advised. The durable green powder coat finish offers good protection, but avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods will help preserve the finish. Ensure that the silencer rubber (if included in your application) is properly seated during installation to prevent noise.
