mmmm double adjustable gooodness.

Nice!!

dude, I was just thinking about this earlier. They are fully adjustable electronically right? those my friend are badass.

Sweet

Track The Sh!t Out Of Those's.........i Would!

they didnt come with the camber plates?

You mean Pillball mounts? Now no you have to get em seperately. Track the shit out of them is righ tthat was the point of getting them But no not electronically adjustable.

is there not a suspenion system for the FD that is by Tein and is electronicly ajustable? i thought there was but i could be wrong, would be nice to know for "Furture" investments.


Prôdigy

Tein Flex coil-overs are 16-way adjustable with a cool little Greddy Profec-B lookin' device. It works baddass. My friend had em' on his 240 and the pressure is adjusted instantly. Softed setting, he could lean on the side of the car and it would squat...hardest setting...wouldn't budge one bit.

I THINK they're the Flex coil-overs.. Pretty sure.

I want them myself. Stock is no fun.

Are these HT's streetable in the relative sense? My guess is they aren't. But how do these compare to the Flex's?

OVER STERR IS YUMMY! Anywasy yes I am they are. The Car is being made for track purpose. Though I can counter the over steer by adjusting the front dampers' rebound and bound correctly. It's allll inhow you set these puppiese UP! THE FREEDOM AND VERSATILITY OF THE HT!

Yeah the spring rate will definitely harshen the Ride a bit on the streets but other than that I menamy ass has enough fat on it to pad it and make it a bit more comfortable. Hell if I wanted to I coud order softer springs anyday. Might even do so later on.

heres the web site for the suspension controller your talking about..
tein EDFC .... http://www.tein.co.jp/edfce.html

I suggest you read all of Howard Coleman (22+ year SCCA racing veteran) posts in the above thread, especially the posts regarding spring rate.

I myself have the TEIN HA's and they are AWESOME. good purchase!

yeah the EDFC is the ultimate kit ever. Fully adjustable from the driver seat via a button. Price is probably like 4500.00 or something right?

Actually the Spring rate is 1010lbs is what is says and I can believe it. Its obvious these Springs are made for grippppy slicks and I will most likely orders a few diffrent sets of springs from tein next spring, yes they make replaceable springs, thats why tein is so awsome they have tons of springs to choose from. I have also read up plenty on suspension setups liek howard coleman's thread rynberg, I wouldn't just go forth and get HTs like that. What I wanted out of the HTs was the double adjustability. But Like I said the HTs are made to be run with STICKy ass slicks and auto X tracks obviously hence the gymkhana master name. Am I professional no, not even close I admit. But I still take everything one step at a time very carefulyl with tons of research.

here is a quote from Howard Coleman in that thread. Good luck with them! Post back on how they do at the track!

Nice looking coilovers though :bigthumb:

I read that a while back. But liek I said I will most likely be getting softer springs in the spring.

That is assuming that there is enough range for bump and rebound to account for the softer springs. As they are currently valved for the stiffer spring rates.

Thats true but i can have them revalved for around 200.00 but with 16 way adjustability I am not too sure I'll have to we will see.

They may be fine, they may not. What ArcWelder was trying to explain is that "16 way" doesn't have anything to do with the range of valving the damper is capable of operating over, you merely have 14 steps in between fully soft and fully hard for that given valving. If that given valving is not in the realm of what the spring needs you're still out of luck.

Right, thanks for clarifying. Just to add a data point, I have Drummond Motor Sport shocks that are seperately adjustable for compression and rebound. They're valved seperately for each particular spring rate front and rear.

Front: Spring rate 550lbs.
Rebound adjustment range is 375 to 510
Compression adjustment range is 200 to 260
Rear: Spring rate is 450lbs.
Rebound adjustment range is 340 to 435
Compression adjustment range is 160 to 200

1750 with the discount? :shocking: , They'd have to be electronicaly and fully adjustable, that's including a laptop, not just any game boy-ish control device for me to get them :D . . .

They must be great though, Tein makes good stuff.
Enjoy them...

these come with 20/20 spring rates, unless you opted for something else. not really streetable at all. liek somone has mentioned this is for a smoother tracks and big slicks

yup yup, acuallythey came with 18s. I'll be revalvign them this spring and getting softer springs. it'll cost me about another grand uuugghhh but we'll see how i like em on slicks at auto X. I called tein by the way and found out the lowest I could go was 16kg springs...bah! but wewill see hw it works out, as far as street driveability goes I am expecting absolutely nothing good form them hahah :D

HA are way too stiff.

They shock dyno graphs and rates wont suit more suitable spring rates either, you have to get them fully rebuilt.

A better solutions for street and semi slick tire applications is the Tein Super Street range, they have very good spring rates (what experienced racers recomend) and the shock dyno is perfect for non glass like track surfaces.

Even the super street's I run cant be set to close to maximum damping rate (6 to 8 from stiffest) because they are far too harsh and cause loss of contact of tire patch) on even minor irregualrities.

Try stoping form 130+mph (if you have racing pads as I do) and you will see how too stiff damping will active ABS easily far greater stopping distances. Also mid corner exit on undulations with Dunlop 02G semi slick road race tires will break easily, again far slower than proper spring damper rates.

Just a little tip for you all, if its a race car with full slicks on very flat/smooth race track doing a one lap shoot out then O.K. All else it will laod up tires far too hard and have little tolerance for any imperfections in the road surface.

thanks for the info. Like I said revalving will be done this spring for sure now. I'm just wondering if I could have had them built to spec straight from japan since its a sepcial uild either way. The guys at tein usa told me that most likely not since they dont like to do custom jobs but if buying the HT is a must build before we ship deal then what would have been the diffrence? Thanks for all your info you guys. Still 18kg if its that bad whats the point, then again most tarmac events in japan gyhmakan(couldn't spell it) are on ultra smooth tarmac lots sooo I guess it would make sense with what rice racing is saying.

Archwelder i was looking at the DMS sight out of suriosity, how much did your entire setup run you? I also found this funny.

KIA RIO
Now available, the 50mm adjustable suspension for motorsport use.

(used in Iran for rallying)


to think I can now lower my RIO and rally it....wtf.

Xeros, I think they were in the $1800-$1900 range.

did they do a custom valve job on them right form the factory to your door or did oyu have to send them back to revalve?

No custom valving required. This was their standard application for the 3rd gen RX-7.
