Anyone using tein coilovers on there t2?
 
Hi

So i picked up a set of tein coilovers off of the form and i was wondering dose anyone else use them on there t2 and how do you like them?

which model are they?
i haven't heard any complaints about any of Tein's coilovers from FC owners, so unless the dampers are blown, you should be in good shape. and if they are blown, F-it, get em rebuilt.

I've got a set of Tein Flex with different front springs (replaced the 6kg/m with 7kg/mm for better balance). I quite like them, they're not a high end race coilover, but they perform very well, are durable and are reasonably priced. Not much more you can ask for in a primarily street driven car. They're reasonably comfortable too.

i run tein ha's and springs rates are too soft imo

Stiffest I've ridden on is kei office though. I say JIC for the adjustablilty and how easy it is to get rebuilds. There are some new coilovers on the way from a local shop out here that seem to be pretty legit...they've got the castor adjustment built into camber plate and the return policy is you bring whatever one you fucked up and they'll replace for $125 bones. The set itself costs $1000 even.

that sounds killer. i might be interested in that ish

I have some JDM JIC's that are shit. Not THE shit, just straight up shit. I can't get them rebuilt here either. They rust over really quick (I'm guessing that all JIC's will do that.) The spring rate is way too stiff too. Driving in seattle is a pain in the ass. They're even a bit too stiff for the track as well.

i had jic's on my wrx and i hated them. dampaning was way to stiff for the springs on them it was a bouncy fucking dissaster going down the highway.

Bronze MFP 10-21-07 06:30 PM

dangerous, your sig pic is crazy!

if anyone wants to trade their JIC's for my ground controls/tokico setup, let me know! lol

its sad they are not good for FC's. my buddy has them on his 240sx and they were much better than my KTS coilovers for about the same price.

danegerous 10-21-07 08:37 PM

if you're interested in those coilovers I was talking about check them out on www.poweredbymax.net I'm friends with one of the guys who engineered them so if you have any tech questions whatsoever let me know and I'll put you in touch with him. I have numerous friends running these on s chassis cars but the fc ones are barely here...I can't waiiiit!
