i was just curious on the HE's since its made for drift... if i got it for an everyday driver would it run down my tires real quick? or no? and if you have any other info about them please tell!


P.S. rishie, if your reading this, ive decided to get my suspension before the rims, so let me know what coils are best right now, i want the best ones possible, and how much... also i would like to get the price on the Type FLEX w/EDC and HE's if its streetable... and what setup would YOU recommend?

thanks!

 

The HE's are definately streetable, any adjustable suspension can be align'ed not to "run down your tires quickly". It's not going to wear out your tires any faster than any other coilover basically. One of the reasons they call the HE's "drift suspension" is cuz they have spring rates of 8kg in the front and 6kg in the rear. The FLEX are 6 and 5 i believe.

And i dont know if all new teins come telfon coated, but i know that thr FLEX do, its to keep them from rusting. But the HA's definately dont have it, so i think all "H" series teins dont have it.

If you are asking Rishie to recommend a suspension, I know for a fact he will tell you to get the JIC FLT-A2. The valving is amazing vs. the teins and that is what will offer a more streetable ride.

 

I recently bought a set of HA coilovers last summer for my FD and it appears that Tein has changed the threaded material on the shock. Mine is stainless steel from what I can tell so rust won't be an issue. Maybe someone else can confirm this for sure?
