anyone experience this coilover? I have searched but pop up a lot of thread about suspension and can't find user with Tein HR.

 

I've got em and love em

 

^^oh sweet! what type of driving do you do =)

 

These aren't a current product of theirs, so is it used ones that you're looking at? If so be cautious, because the shocks sould well be blown and in need of a rebuild. If they're from Japan then Tein USA won't touch them, or so I've heard.

 

I drive them daily.....well, I did before my engine decided not to start. I am hoping to get my car drifting asap, and I'll tell you how they work, If your going to wait that long. I got mine off ebay with a few thousand miles on em from japan.

 

i'm not doing drifting, i just want a better ride height and a more comfortable ride. sometime maybe i'll do some ruff driving on it

 

Coilovers are NOT the way to go if you want a better ride.

Get something like Eibach springs (if you can find some, they're good for comfort because they're progressive), get some new shocks (something like KYB GR2 or Tokico Blues will be fine), replace your upper mounts (worn/old), cut off the bump stops and replace them with some nice soft aftermarket progessive ones (such as those available from Ground Control, will make for a much softer bump when/if they're needed) and replace all your bushings with new stock ones (they'll be due for replacement, and stock will give the best ride).

 

rough* not ruff lol, yeah but i like coilover

 

who else run HR here?

 

back in 02 i bought my first coilovers. hr. used for like 600 for my 240sx. if its ur 1st then ur gonna think they are good. but those things are way old. tein usa didnt have much info when i asked em back then. id think the line up goes back over 10 years or so. but they are same rates as the HA coilovers but no damper adjustments. i sold mine in 04 to buy the HE coils that my friend was sellin (he bought em new the prior year so i knew they were still good).

i think goin with some ksports or megans would be a better choice. old hr wont have any support.

 

even if they are not used that much?

 

how can a 6+ year coilovers not be used that mcuh?

 

well, possible is being used and took it out for something else and didn't use it ever since and sell it, iono

 

There's more to wearing out thatn pure milage, the gas pressure will slowly leak out, the shafts might corrode or get pitted, the seals harden over time, etc.
