Tein SS coilovers

**sickyute** · 03-22-2006, 12:48 AM

Ok so i've been waiting on a coilover kit for my 06 Si from since i got it back in december....finally tein has the super street coilovers available. i'm ready to just all over them except that on clubsi the guys over there were talking about tein having reliablity issues and so on on past model cars etc. my choices are either to go with h&r or tein...maybe eibach or buddy club...i thought tein was a good solid pick until and with them having the ss out was great news. would go hfp but not enough adjustablility.
Anyone else have any negative issues or experience with tein? do u recommend another brand and if so why?
or is the choice a clear cut tein or whatever

I had Tein Flex on my GSX back in the day and they were incredible. The car handled amazing and the ride was still soft. I only had them for a few months before I had an accident so I can't speak towards reliability. The build quality was incredible though.

yeah, TEIN makes really good stuff.

makes to made? so not anymore?

I have only heard of exsesive squeeks in the FLEX line-up, nothing about the Super Street line, only praises! I personaly think Tein is going to give you the most satisfaction for your money

escocrx · 04-15-2006, 05:34 PM

tein super streets. lowest ride height at level 7 dampening.

had em a couple weeks now. awesome ride. easy to install.

just pondering getting the EDFC or not...

Wicked_Stylz · 04-15-2006, 10:16 PM

OMG I AM IN LOVE!!!! I love the dropped look!

larryd · 04-16-2006, 12:35 AM

Do you have any rubbing issues being that low?

escocrx · 04-16-2006, 01:19 AM

nope.not from the tires. jus watch out when parking. it will scrape on curbs and parking blocks. just the underneath though.

PoLiShPrInCe · 04-16-2006, 12:11 PM

your rear looks to be having some serious camber in that last pic... looks good though

duy2006si · 04-17-2006, 10:18 PM

Dude where did you get those?? I want to order them now....is there also a camber kit available for the 06 si also?

DeezSi06 · 04-17-2006, 11:05 PM

hmm you need a camber kit with those being real low huh?
I never had coilovers
Do u have to get a new alignment everytime you adjust the height?
i wanna lower my car about a inch.

**sickyute** · 04-17-2006, 11:20 PM

i have those with the edfc...i'm not dropped that low cuz i have 18s and 225 tires...i'm dropped just over the tires...i did need an alignment so i'd imagine he needs one too...i used the camber kits from comptech...they are spc camber kits...they give u rear arms for the Si and front camber bolts from the rsx s...looks perfect..i'll get some pics up after i add a few more things to my engine bay etc.

DeezSi06 · 04-17-2006, 11:53 PM

u had camber issues on the front and back?

**sickyute** · 04-18-2006, 01:48 AM

the back...the front not that much of a factor but did it anyway..the back needed it...so i was told. i had the dealer do the allignment though..

TwofouroSi · 04-18-2006, 04:39 AM

Hey Stickyute how was the install on the EDFC? I'm assuming it's compatible on the Si since you have it!? I will be getting the same setup as you soon...THANKS!

GALAXY~SI · 04-18-2006, 04:45 AM

wow those coilovers are nice but i think i still get the spring i dont need to be so low all i need is to be an inch and a half.

no where that low, but the black civic looks awesome

acetech808 · 04-19-2006, 01:24 AM

Nice setup. NBP-color looks good. Where did you get them? Thanks

DLight1 · 04-19-2006, 11:11 AM
