Coilover choices...

Yo Nadz · 07-14-2006, 06:32 PM

I get my SI in about 3 weeks. I wanna have springs or coilovers by then so I can dropped it as soon as I get it. I was going to get Eibach Sportlines, but I have always had coilovers on my previous cars and love the fact of being able to adjust ride height. I have been looking at the Tein coilovers but don't know if I want to spend that kind of money. Are there any coilover sets for cheaper anymore. Skunk2?? Neuspeed?? I remember paying like $400 for a Skunk set on my 99 SI. Insight please, and thanks!

Also, does anyone have or know of a picture of a SI slammed on coilovers??

wait for megan racing or progress to come out with coilovers, they usually have 32 way adjustable dampening and ride hieght adjustability with pillow ball mounts for around 900. but i personaly went for the tein ss. very well known company for good coilovers

Do the Tein SS's replace the springs and shocks?? It's like a whole new suspension isn't it??

yo make sure u get a full coilover like with adjustable dampening and hight.
so u can change it anytime u like... dont get just the spring..or if u jsut wanna lower your car get the HFP suspension kit. it has warranty what ever happens to your cars handling and i guess its reasonable..

I will probably go with the Tein SS. I had those on my IS300 and was pretty happy with them. Although, once they hit about 15,000 miles they started to ride like shit....guess we'll see.

Anyone know the cheapest place to pic up a set of Tein SS for the SI??

you can go to Tein website and check out their dealer located near your area and some of the dealer have their own website or you could call and ask them how much. found my dealer at Tein website, got my Tein SS with edfc for 1600.00 and i install it myself
