Default Got my Tein RE's on today!

After months of debate and saving money, I finally dropped the hammer and went with the Tein RE's. My top 3 choices were between the Zeal S6, Tein RE's, and Buddy Club Racing Specs. I wanted them to be serviceable in the US so that ruled out Buddy Club. So it was really a toss up between the S6 and RE's. I got a better deal on the RE's, so that is what I went with.

Got them yesterday and installed them last night , then today it snows 7" so I don't have a road test quite yet but, I should be putting them to the test at VIR full in 2 weeks. I'm going to run 10k front and 14k rear and see how it works for me. Anyway, here are some pics.

I am assuming those Spring Rates are not in lbs?

Nice choice though, And i am happy to see you went smart and got the Higher spring rates in the rear!

re's adjust with the stroke, ie the lower nut, so that the preload on the springs is retained at all times.

RE's are height adjustable without changing the spring preload.

Hey now, SS is nothing to be ashamed of...I put some on my EG the other night and so far I think they are great! I also got some type FLEX for the WRX wagon. Similar adjusments as the RE, but tuned more for street use....
