Why was his wtq 7 less than stock wtq?

 

Did he only do three runs. My guess would have been heat soak or just a minor discrepancy between runs.

DVS's sedan is so clean and simple.

 

I have teins on my si and it looks lower than that picture posted....

 

The picture posted is of an Si lowered on HFP, not Tein s-techs.

 

i actually have the tein coilovers but i dont know what model because i bought the car used and it came with it, how can i find out?

 

Get some pictures. There should be a sticker at the bottom of the strut with the model number on it. I believe there are only three coilover set for the new SIs: Basic, SS and Flex.

 

'Tis true, there are only three offerings from Tein for these chassis.

My guess would be SS's, but we'll have to wait and see.

 

Look at the upper strut mounts behind the little plastic pieces from underneath the hood. There might be a damper adjustment **** at the very tip. If it has it then you either have the Super Streets or the Flex coilovers. I believe the Superstreets have silver threading on the stut body where the height is adjusted from and the Flex have black threading.

If there is no damper adjustment then you have the Basic coilover setup.

If someone was actually dumb enough to leave a Flex setup on your car then congratulations.....you just lucked out with a nearly 2 grand coilover setup. Then again all of Tein's products are pricey now.

 

I'll have my bf take a look and Ill update u guys....i am hoping its the nicest ones!

 

You could look at the lower portion of the strut body and distinguish between either basic/ss and flex.

 

Alright heres some pictures of the setup.

The first set is the car with the S-Techs.





The second set is the picture of the car with the HFP suspension.

 

^That looks very close to stock. How do you like them?

 

The Tein S I think looked better, but the ride was rough and I was going to have to address the rear camber issue. Also, I had to be real careful with all speed bumps and large
driveways. The HFP set-up looks much stock, but the ride and handling are great.
I also don't have to address the rear camber problem. All in all, I'm very satisfied.

 

Did you get another alignment after you installed the HFP kit? If so how much where they off?

 

What I don't understand is, why doesn't the Si come standard with the HFP suspension? Seems logical. Honestly, the stock hybrid suspension is just about as low as the HFP. I'm sure the HFP is much nicer in all aspects though (unless you want a nice soft ride).

 

Will be having a new alignment this week. Interestingly fact on the alignement with the
Tein S. Not only was the rear camber off, but so was the to toe readings front and rear.
They were able to adjust that out with the stock adjustments. The only thing I miss with the Tein S set-up is the better look with the car riding lower.

 

I just ordered my set. [Waits impatiently]

 

Yes, and all was within normal limits except the left rear which was only slightly out
of the normal limits of camber.

 

Even with the minimal drop, the camber was only off slightly. However, it was the toe angle at all four corners that were adversely affected.

 

You bumped this 3 month old thread for that? lol

Actually I think the Si should come with all the HFP add on's and mugen quickshifter as an optional SiR model.

Honda doesn't have to bring the Type R, just offer an SiR

 

I completely agree.

Better to bump an old thread than create a new one. Creating new threads on past topics always bugged me, so this is the next best thing.

 

Creating a pointless, techless brag thread is annoying, bumping and old thread for the same purpose is the next worse thing.
