Red face Attempt #2 Tein CS Coilovers

OK so I just sent payment for another set of Tein CS coilovers to a member here. The last time I tried this it did not turn out well and became a legal battle including American Express, Paypal and the police. Ended up getting my money back. Thank god!

This seller seems to be a much better guy and I am very excited. Just need to order a EDFC now. Found one shop that has them for $315 shipped. Anyone know of a better deal?


Tyson - want to send me some more details on your ash tray mod? I might try that. Either that or I am going to put it up with my EBC and UTEC Tuner in the navi cubby.

I'm hoping that they will be nice for the DD and have enough to still enjoy the occasional mountain drive. If not, I'll find a set of SS and sell them.

Did you have the EDFC? How were they when set to full stiff?

i didnt have the CS on my car, just rode in one, didnt like it and didnt like the flex either, they were too stiff, so i went with basics. If i needed dampening adjustabilty i'd go with the SS's since they're right in the middle.

I would love to get a set of SS but the import fees are a PITA. I wish they sold them in the US. The best price I have found to get them imported was ~$1880. Not including the EDFC. That's over $650 more than the CS ones I'm getting so I think these are worth a try. My GF will be happy with the new comfy ride.

I just cant understand how people would want there G35 to ride any harder than what the CS can provide.
I find this setup just a perfect balance for all around driving, plus with more adjustment left for tracking.
With a few try's I found that the Front liked 10 clicks to hard, and back needed 14 clicks to hard.
I even feel that its still a bit to firm for everyday driving. I wonder why people complain about rattles in there cars. Maybe a bit to much spring rate? Get some good sways with the CS and be very happy.

New in box EDFC $200.00 Never used.
