Anyone got the Tein HA coilovers

Iv been looking at the tein HA coilover setup and iv heard tein makes some good stuff. I was wondering if anyone has the HA setup and if they could let me know how they are. I plan to do a lot of racing on them, but my car is also street drivin. I want to go with a linear rate spring vs. progressive. My racing class goes on a points based system, springs are 2 points and shocks are free. So naturally, i want to go with the best as possible. Im not looking for a 2-way adjustable shock, even though they are nice and all, i dont feel like spending that much time tuning. 1-way is fine. I also like these tein's cuz they seem to be a lot cheaper then other coilovers and they are a complete matched package and not somthing like the ground control conversions.

if theres anything i should know about these, plez tell me!

This stuff is pretty rich for the 2G crowd. There may be a few in here with experience running this set-up, but you may have better luck probing around the 3G forum to learn about generally how good the Tein stuff is or isn't. Looks top notch to me from what I've seen. There may be more value oriented app.'s out there though that are just as good.

I've got a set in my closet...does that count?

Anyhow, they're VERY well made, very high quality. I haven't tried 'em out yet (the car is still in many tiny pieces) but I've ridden/driven a buddy's 240sx with Tein's, and that's what sold me. Smooth, solid, comfortable ride, not jarring, no squeaks, rattles, or noise, and handles like nothing I've ever experienced!

They are pricey, but I think you get what you pay for.

I don't know, the price for Tein HA's seems pretty reasonable over at RX-7 store. well when compared to the other coilover sets they sell, $1050 is cheap . One day i sure hope i can get a set.
