New set of Tien SS Coilovers!
So my coilovers should finally be here today and ofcourse i wanna try and put them on in the same day right... haha. my question is do i need to allow a window of time for the new suspension to be broken in or am i good to go as soon as the install is done. im thinkin about dumpin it about 2 inches for now and seeing how that works out. im open to any suggestions tho...
thanks in advance...

i dont think you have to worry about break in at all. and i hope you didnt think you can dump these coilovers? they will give you only about a 1" gap. you can dump the fronts about another 1" if you do not install the brake line bracket, but your rear may still be up higher...
i wasnt happy with my tein ss (integra spring rates) i could not get the right setting for the street... needless to say i felt like a popcorn inside a popcorn machine. so i sold those and went with the flex. much better dampening adjustment. then sold those recently only because i got a very good deal on some buddy clubs... hope you like them more than i did.
3,000 miles used $700 shipped.. cant beat that price.

Hope you like your tiens more than I did. They are OK on small bumps, but my '90 hatch gets real busy on some dips, and lips, and big expansion joints. They just seem to have very little rebound dampening on bigger bumps. Not a great improvment over the crappy Monroe/Dropzone setup that came with the car.
I will probably go to the Koni/GC next.

my friend had the EG spec SS's on his EK....i must say it was a very nice ride for daily driving around MD/DC/VA.
not too stiff, not too soft....it was pretty perfect to me.
but for the money Koni Yellows/Custom GC's are awesome
