Im looking at grabbing a set and would like to know how they compare to the ITRs stock sussy....i enjoy throwing my car into the corners a fair bit :D

People tell me not to touch the ITR suspension, but i would love to make it handle even better than it does now. Would these be the best way to go?

Thanks

 

No idea on comparison to stock shocks. But Tein Flex are a tight set of coilovers. Handle great and have run them on my personal cars. They have good adjustability and are top quality coilovers. When it comes time to buy a set hit us up, we have the best pricing around on Tein.

 

Alright, thanks! If my research is correct, they are both damper and height adjustable? Anything else they can adjust?

Thanks

 

I had them on my em1 and loved it. You can't go wrong with them.

 

Reasonably firm ride?

 

That is correct, you can even add EDFC for in car dampening adjustment.

 

Search suspension posts in this forum. Tein Flexs are certainly a step above the ebay/Taiwan coilovers, but I'd still choose Koni/GC over them any day of the week.

If your stock shocks are worn, a new set of Flexs will show an improvement...although I am not a fan of the springrates they come with.

 

Rides like a dream Ive had apexi n1 coilover f&f and buddy club. But tien is by far the best Ive had.

Buy mine!.

 

Tein always has such conservative spring selection on their street suspension, though. I guess it doesn't matter if you're not tracking it.

 

I've got a set on my ITR and they are a great improvement in my opinion. Good quality
& were pretty simple to install, not to mention the option of the EDFC.
I've heard mixed opinions on the spring rates but I'm very happy with them. I haven't tracked the car with them yet but they're significantly stiffer than stock ITR springs.
It was either these or PIC coilovers and I went with these because the price was just too good to pass up. Good luck with making a decision.

 

Well i ended up getting some! Tanks

 

Not from us

 

Also, does anyone know if EG shocks/springs will be a straight fit into a DC2R?

 

no one?

 

eg shocks will not fit the rear LCAs b/c ITRs use pillow ball mounts for better handling. Change out the LCAs to Integra (or eg and lose your rear sway) and they will fit. I have tein flex on my R but preffer my Buddy Clubs that were on my eg. IF I had time I'd put my buddyclubs on my R..

 

No, they will not. Rear LCA is different.

 

OK thanks for the bad news lol

 

There are no pillowball mounts on the stock ITR rear LCA. It's just a rubber bushing. The design of how the shock bolts into the LCA is different.

 

i just installed a set on my R...i love em one of the best upgrades...10 in the front and 8 in the rear...smooth ride on my 205/50/15s..i went with stiffer springs in the front and standard for the type R in the rear

 

I love them.. By far the best setup I have had.. Then meagan ez streets

 

Yes they are awesome! What are everyones settings atm, or what do you recommend...it is my DD to which i occasionally throw into the corners :D

 

I agree I've used tein, they were ok, im in love with the buddyclub race specs I just put in... the teins seems to rust/corrode easier than most setups, even whe only seeing rain... the spring rates and preload settings I got from BC are great for street... as for the track I tweaked the dampening stiffer what a difference... if money is no option I would go for some Ohlins or JIC... either way you should have a noticable diff in handling as long as you set them up right.

 

the guys at Tein say setting 12 all the way around is a nice ride...i have 14k springs in the front 10k in the back...im at setting 10 in the front and 8 in the rear on 205/50/15 series tires and i love the ride...even at WOT the car feels safe&controllable and im boosted 350whp 263lbs

 

So 10 being 2 away from the softest setting and 8 being 4 away?

 

from full stiff..full clockwise...then go 10 clicks counterclockwise
