After months of debate and saving money, I finally dropped the hammer and went with the Tein RE's. My top 3 choices were between the Zeal S6, Tein RE's, and Buddy Club Racing Specs. I wanted them to be serviceable in the US so that ruled out Buddy Club. So it was really a toss up between the S6 and RE's. I got a better deal on the RE's, so that is what I went with.

Got them yesterday and installed them last night , then today it snows 7" so I don't have a road test quite yet but, I should be putting them to the test at VIR full in 2 weeks. I'm going to run 10k front and 14k rear and see how it works for me. Anyway, here are some pics.

I am assuming those Spring Rates are not in lbs?

Nice choice though, And i am happy to see you went smart and got the Higher spring rates in the rear!

So nice. Hell yeah this weather sucks man. I can't even get my car out of the driveway...

Anyway, have fun at VIR and let us know how you like the setup...

Looks good, definitly review them after you can push it some.

sWeeT

 

K short for kg/mm.

 

Looks sweet man!!!

I know you purchased them soley for the performance aspect, but is it the RE that doesn't have much height adjustability or am I trippin?

 

Tiiite man, thats my next mod. Please let us know how you like them. VtecVoodoo has them for around $1600? They are $1800 from Tein.

 

Drool drool.... Looks nice! I can't wait to get my Tein SS.

 

Whats the diff. btwn Tein RA vs. RE's...?

 

ahhhhhhhh yes thouse look damn good!!!!!!!

 

nice

 

chris is down

nice choice man , see you at VIR.

 

re's adjust with the stroke, ie the lower nut, so that the preload on the springs is retained at all times.

 

RE's are height adjustable without changing the spring preload.

 

Nice, but your puttin my ss' to shame.

 

Hey now, SS is nothing to be ashamed of...I put some on my EG the other night and so far I think they are great! I also got some type FLEX for the WRX wagon. Similar adjusments as the RE, but tuned more for street use....

 

Sweet man! How much do the RE's go for nowadays? im thinking of upgrading real soon.

 

fresh!

 

nice!

 

Tell us how they feel once you get a chance to ride on them.
Looks Nice
