Hey guys! I decided from all the negative feedback about megan coilovers to sell them. I'm gonna get tein coilovers, but I'm not sure which ones to get. This is for my daily driver. I want the car to handle the best possible way. Thanks a lot for any input (positive).

 

Why are you selling the Megan's? They're a pretty decent coilover.

But, anyways, I'd recommend the Tein Flex's, because I'm into track performance.

 

I'm selling them for a couple of reasons. The first one being they are used (5,000k miles). Second, I've been reading all over (and here) that they're not that great. AND I've been reading and heard from friends that teins are the way to go.

I don't go to the track at all. I did a bunch of times when I had a 94 cobra (few years ago). I don't plan on going either. I have my kids car seat in the back. Don't think that would look to good at the track. I'm really the kind of guy that HAS to have the best. So intially I thought about getting the flex coilover and 'that gadget' the lets you control the damper from the driver seat. But I thought, do i really need that? Whats the name of that device? I was just looking at it and I lost the page. So , which ones do i really NEED?

Tein Super Street's would be perfect.

 

Do I need the pillowball upper mount? Thanks again.

 

he devise is called an edfc. i have tein flex coil over. if your ever driving on bumpy roads don't get them. its a rough DD. i would tell you to get the basics. still a great coil over. tight enough to handle but loose enough to be smooth. and if you got a kid. you mgiht rattle his brains with the flexes!!! lol

You can use your car's stock upper mounts, or buy the front pillow mounts and use the stock rear upper mounts. I would buy the front pillow mounts, for easy camber adjustment.

 

and yes you do need an pillow ball mount for the 03. . and if you want to go to the track. go to recaros web site, they got child deats with takata harnesses.lol my kid is sooo getting that **** when i have a kid. he will hit the track with me buckled up in his takata sitting in his recaro baby seat. BALLIN lol

 

hey Matt. are the ss coil overs good. I've herd they are kind like the basterd child for tein because the focused more on the flex and the basics for marketing reasons.

 

If I could do it all again and my car was an honest to goodness daily, I wouldnt bother with coilovers. Just get shocks and a deicent set of progressive springs, your back will thank you later.

 

Hey about these Upper Mount w/ Camber Adj.... I have k-sport rear camber kit. I don't know a ton about cars, I'm learning. Could I use the k-sport in the
back?

 

ss-p awesome.... FLEx..better.. mono-flex...best!! expensive-alot-oh snap prices... and the flex are the ballin way to go.. they got it all.. and EDFC compatible... cant beat that.. i want that like a BJ fom a pornstar.. so if money isnt too hard to get.. there are F2 or T1R... but the Flex is gangsta!!! goodluck on the choice.. lemme know what you get!

 

The SS are EDFC compatible too right? If it is, I'll just order those together. Someone let me know please. Thanks.

 

they are. if your going for Tein SS, check out koni's and ground controls. they come around the same price

 

How do you guys think the Tein SS's compare to KW's V1's?

 

no, i think tein is the best.. but others think otherwise! i comapre tein with buddyclub, and t1r, etc..not KW imo

Moton dampers with Swift springs and Hotchkis top mounts will trump any of those setups. Of course, that kind of setup would require about $5,000.

 

I drive on tein ss right now so thats my choice. Only a month old and lovin them. you can make them pretty soft too if you would like. And they are edfc compatible. i also got the pillow ball mounts and lowered 2". Are u wanting to lower?

Zeal products aren't to be sniffed at either. But hella $$$'s

I have KW V1's on my EM2 and love them to bits.

Zeal's can run about $2500 for a set. Not cheap at all, but Moton has them trumped.

 

Yeah i know, i wasn't posting that as a contender in the who's got the highest price competition.


Love you.

you can bet your still gonna see me at the track next summer. if all goes well it'll be with a turbo to!

back to the coilover discussion. i have Tein Basics. overall a decent ride. perhaps a little harsh. but im not complianing!

 

bro if your not got to race or anything like that and just want a great ride and look just go with the tein basics that all you really need and the EDFC is a waste of money .IMO

 

it's the aspect and the tuning of the coils.. the rears are a bitch to adjust in damping.. and that saves the hassle...
