Default Why do Tein HA suck so much ??????

I have read alot of ppls reviews and alot of ppl don't like them . Why ?

Is it just the rust ?

Is it that the spring rate are low ?
If so why do ppl just buy Tein race springs with greater spring rates ?

yea, and a lot of people do like them.

I've owned a set and I will not buy another. There is generally a fight every time this is brought up so even though the search feature sucks on this board, you should have no problem finding some information that way.

Doctor.....Tein ha=550 rear....375 front....stock!
Or 7 kg/mm front....10kg/mm rear
You can swap front to back if you like.
I run 550 front .....750 rear.
And that is lite compared to some competitors

Isn't H1 being won by a car on overpriced JDM coilovers?

The low-end Tein coilovers aren't valved stiff enough for my tastes. The higher Tein stuff is pretty nice though. However, I'd still rather have BuddyClub or Zeal coilovers.

No, just smart enought to realize that country of origin does not equate to a product being good (or in this case, bad). I've seen amazing things from Japan and I've seen trash from Japan, same as everywhere else...

But if you want to jump on the anti-JDM bandwagon just for the hell of it be my guest...
