For those running TEIN suspension

what model are you running, where caster/camber plates included? also how well do you like them and what would you change if you bought again?

Dont get too ahead of yourself.

The HA's are not caster adjustable AFAIK.

Check out the nice Tein comparison here

I like them a lot, I've settled on these after switching between Illumina/GC, AGX/eibach, HA, Mazdaspeed, FLT-A2.

I'd go for a setup with higher spring rates if I were to go to the track more often, but since I only go every 3 months or so and have to deal with San Francisco streets, this is a good comprimise.

autox, drift, street. i am trying to get a good adjustable setup to dial the car into my style, which leans towards a tailhappy wrc "drift" style. i will be beating the snot out of these as they will see dirt, snow, gravel, asphalt, maybe some small farm animals. i am probably going to get another camber plate or modify theirs as i definitely want some caster control. mods as of right now include a redrilled rear anti-roll bar. budget is tight so i figured tein will do. i'm thinking i'll be climbing the ladder towards something inverted. probably not worry about separate rebound and dampening though.

I have Tein HE's, and yes camber plates and pillow ball mounts fo rrear were included. The HA's look like they have the same spring rates cept w/o the camber plates and pillowball mounts... I love these coilovers cept if I were to buy again I might wanna try the JIC FLT-2? (is that what they're called?). I hopefully will be able to get out to an autox next year to see how it does... too much down time this year

I just use the eibach with 5 way tockio's , when i drift i set the rear's on 5 (stiff) with some smaller (width wise) tires on the back and pump up the air pressure.
