Getting Tein Springs any input???

I drive a coupe and I want to drop it thinking of getting Tein's for it. Any comments on this springs? I don't like Eibach's I'm not impressed with it's performance. Also thinking of getting shocks I don't know if any is available already? So any suggestions on that as well?

And one more thing Injen or Stillen? Which one works better?

Re: Getting Tein Springs any input???

I heard that tein is coming out with a coil over kit and you can also buy an electronic dampner controller for it as well. I think it's about $1,400 for the kit. Don;t remember though.
I'm thinking about getting it for my baby because the front sits higher than the rear.

Re: Getting Tein Springs any input???

there are also JIC and HKS coil over too. Tein have 3 model call Flex, CS and basic. HKS have two model and they are call Hypermax LS and Damper. I saw JIC last weekend at Autobac. JIC cost almost 2000. I think it is a tad bit too much.

Hope that help.

Re: Getting Tein Springs any input???

yes tien makes 3 with the flex being the hardest and then the CS. The JIC are the hardest of all the coil overs they make 2 kits the harder kit should only be used on the track.

Re: Getting Tein Springs any input???

u can go from +.4 to -2.7 in the front and from -.1 to -1.5 in the rear. i think the normal is -1.5 front and -1 rear for the flex kit.

then for the CS its -1 and -1.1 for the rear

for the basic its -1 and -.8

im not 100% sure i am doing reading this right so here is the adress to teins web page and then to the info on the shocks

Re: Getting Tein Springs any input???

$190.00 I ordered the springs yesterday and I'm installing it on Monday together with my Stellin airbox (got the box for $244.00). I still need to get the 350Z tube that these people are talking about I'm still searching for one.
