I am thinking about getting tein SS for my gsr. I dont need insane spring rates. I will be driving my car to school, track event here and there...like once a month, nothing crazy either. Prolly get into autocross, not alot either, not much time. I know I could search, but im asking in my paticular application.

Tein SS sound good for me?
I figure for the price of konis and ground controls..this seems better

Thanks guys.

 

I'd say go for it since you wont be tracking the car often

Frosty who has to install his AGX/GC combo on his DB2 when he goes home

 

How's the ride on them on the streets? Are they uncomfterable??

 

I heard the teins have a tendency to rust out in harsher conditioins, plus they don't come with pillowball mounts. Does anybody have the JIC magic setup? The Stage 2 with the adj. dampening. Someone should start a thread comparing "true" coilover setups.

 

well im a firm beliver in tein. well worth the money, and prolly some of the best coilovers you can get for less than 1500 range. i mean you could go with the HKS if you want some crazy ****, but plan on spending close to 3g's

 

This is what has kept me away from the Tein SS's. Apart from that they are good coilovers.

 

Wrap them in teflon tape
Ya, how are JICS coilovers?
Who ares for Pillow upper mounts..why would I need them?

 

I've heard that the JIC's are nice but they are pretty damn expensive (I am sure the include the pillow upper mounts). The pillow upper mounts (although not necessary) increase suspension response but they make the ride a but harsher.

 

I wont be needing pillow mounts for my street drivin car then.

 

Wrapping them in teflon will only trap moisture and junk.

 

spray them with something then

 

No

 

I'd like to hear more experiences myself.. Looking into swapping out my koni yellows for some Tein SS.

Peronsally I would drive the Car on track and auto-x the car stock, you will learn more. Once you learn to be fast an seem to be out driving the car then I would upgrade the suspension from there.
