Hi, I am thinking of getting Tein HA coilover with pillowball mounts. Does anybody know this setup with pillowball mount will make my camber adjustable??
If not, what does pillowball mount does anyway??

Thanx

 

The pillowball mounts replace your factory top shock mounts. The factory top shock mounts have a rubber bushing in them. The stock mounts are designed for comfort and noise reduction. A pillowball mount, on the other hand, does away with the rubber bushing. It is a complete top mount that replaces the factory mount with the rubber bushing with a solid metal "ball" that sits in a solid metal seat in the mount. As you can imagine, the metal-on-metal mount is NOT soft and NOT quiet. It creeks and grinds with every motion of the suspension. It needs to be lubricacted regularly to reduce this effect. The pillow ball mount is much better in terms of handling and response. But it is noisey and less comfortable than the stock mounts with rubber bushings.

I do not know for sure if the Tein pillowball mounts offer camber adjustment, but I am pretty sure that they do not... Maybe someone else knows for sure...

They do not offer camber adjustment. Moving the location of the top of the shock does not change camber on our double wishbone suspension. That only works for McPherson strut top mounts.

 

Go for the Buddyclub Racing Spec damper !!!! Definitely better Tein. BC 46mm piston vs Tein 36mm piston. BC dampers features adjustable stroke too (fully adjustable shock length).

IM me if you have any questions about them.

 

Hmmm........... I've seen buddyclub coilover on japanese option magazines. I didnt know that they are that good....... where can you get this coilover?? as long as the price is not over my budget I might get them....

 

IPS Racing , R&D Motorsports and A&J Racing have them

 

Does anyone know the spring rate on the Tein SS coilover system? I'm in the process of getting these and now that you guys mention buddy club makes coilovers for our 5g preludes. What's the spring rate on those? As for the price, I'm getting quoted for $1,000 shipped for the Tein SS, what's the price on the Buddy club syste?

Side note to the webmaster of AJ racing, the pages takes forever to load even over a T1 connection.

 

They go for $800+. All the prices I've seen in the US are $1000+.
