Tein suspension

[Hayaku Kenji]

Wheres the cheapest place to buy the Tein SS or Flex coilover? i found them on Passwordjdm.com for 994.99(SS) and 1494.89(Flex). is there any cheaper besides used

[sgtpruitt]

Yeah I thought that didn't sound right. You need to check again. Password JDM has them for way more than that. You have the wrong vehicle selected.


The best prices I've seen were on ebay and you are not going to find them for 994 and 1490. Maybe you should look at some basics if you're strapped for cash.

nah thats what it said for the price im not too strapped for cash (unless i get this s15 my fam in japan is looking at for me) but i dont wanna get ripped off plus i want the EDFC

seriously, check ebay. THe prices are the best i've seen. ~$1190 for ss plus shipping. PasswordJDM has them for almost 1400. You are gonna pay about 1700 for flex or 1200 for SS.

i dont trust ebay on that kinda stuff but are the hfp adjustable? i was lookin at those yesterday but i think im still gonna go with TEIN 0_o'

[sgtpruitt]

Can also be spelled "bling" cause it takes 2 minutes to adjust all four buy hand. Also, Teins blow goats. I've had SS and dumped them for Flex which was an improvement in damping characteristics but still suck and i'm getting rid of those. But, you probably aren't as serious as a i'm when it comes to handling.

I'm saying. I'm going racing and Tein doesn't make anything that can hang plus they don't seem to have a quality control department with all the different feed back i have gotten. i.e. Flexs are suspposed to have 16 levels of adjustment. I've herd people with 12, 14, 15, 16, and 27 (me).

Love the sig sgtpruitt.

The HFP damper is waaaaaay better than anything any of the off the shelf coilovers on the market have. Just because it is adjustable, does not mean its good. Adjustablility cost a lot, so you have to cut cost else were, like valving. Sure the limits are higher with the coilovers, but that is because the manufactures make up for crapy dampers with stiff springs. The HFP kit is good. You get springs that are matched to the good dampers. If you want something better than that. Wait until koni or tokico comes out with their dampers and get some springs to go with it. That way you get the adjustability WITH good valving. Read the suspension stickies and then read this thread and then make a decision.
