Since a lot of you Type-R guys always have nice suspension setups and know what works well, I decided to try this forum. I was thinking of getting a set of Tein SS coilovers for my 92 Civic VX. Tony at Turbo Evolution is doing a groupbuy and I can get them for $875 shipped, which sounds pretty good. The car is my daily driver but will see light track use this spring. I just want some pros/cons and a little insight from anyone who has or had them. I know they have 16 way dampening but I'm not sure about the amount of height adjustment or spring rates for the front and rear.

 

If thats is the right price for you go for it . A nice coilover kit and a bunch of strut bars, and maybe a camber kit. Sounds like a plan

$875 is not a bad price. I think the average price for Tein SS is around $950.
the height adjustment is pretty much up to the user..... it's a coil-over

As for the spring rate, I believe SS (for ITR)come with 8K front and 6K rear.

 

Spend a little more and get the Flex. They are much better compared to the SS.

 

i would reccomend getting the integra spec SS's for your EG because the rates are nearly double over the civic's

 

I was thinking the same thing since I do have the added weight of a B18C1 swap up front. My current setup which are just a set of Tokico's with Progress springs, I noticed that the front sits lower now from the added weight.

 

If I would get the Integra DC2 kit, will they fit properly without any mods? Would it throw of the height or are the Integra and Civic strut bodies and springs the same length?

 

nice to see another WV member on here

BTW, what parT?
