help TEIN S.TECH Kit for Toyota Matrix ZZE132/133L FAQ
What Toyota Matrix models are compatible with the TEIN S.TECH Kit (Part Number ZZE132/133L)?
This specific lowering spring kit is designed exclusively for the ZZE132 and ZZE133 chassis codes of the Toyota Matrix. These correspond to the first-generation Matrix models produced from 2003 to 2008, sharing a platform with the Pontiac Vibe.
How much does the TEIN S.TECH kit lower a Toyota Matrix?
The S.TECH springs typically lower the front of the Matrix by around 1.8 inches and the rear by approximately 1.4 inches. This lowered center of gravity significantly reduces body roll and improves the hatchback's cornering response.
Do TEIN S.TECH springs require aftermarket shocks?
While they can physically be installed on factory OEM shocks, the lowered ride height increases the spring rate, which can wear out stock struts faster. It is highly recommended to pair them with performance dampers like the TEIN EnduraPro series.
Where are TEIN S.TECH springs manufactured?
TEIN is a Japanese suspension manufacturer that produces its high-quality steel springs in their Yokohama facility. They utilize a unique green powder coating process that provides excellent rust resistance and a distinct visual aesthetic.
