who has tein coilover sets? how low do they lower your car? do any one have
pics of them?

buy apc 100$ ones if your into the rice look

 

I believe they can go alittle over a 2inch drop.

This is coming from the same person who has molded integra tailights........

So I guess your saying a low car is ricey? OK buddy.

 

no i say if you buy tiens if all you want is a lower car your a focking ricer
whats wrong with integra lights?

 

don't waste your money unless your rich or you want to waste your money on the teins if you only want to drop your car for the look. IMO go b4 show.

 

You guys are all retarded. All he asked was how low they go. Simple question. He never mentioned anything about slamming his car, nor did he mention anything about not wanting them for performance. Anyways, it all depends on which set up you get(i.e. cs line, rs line, n1 line, ht line, etc.)and what kind of car they are going on.

I just think that lowering a car isnt ricey being that if it's done right, you will benefit--the way you said it was anything but Teins are rice-in your first post.80 % of people on here dont have Teins...so I guess you can call us all ricers.And your a godamn hypocrite cause integra tailights do NOTHING for the car but rice it out. So dont say a lowered car without teins is rice when you are driving around fast and furious style with your conversion.

Oh and just to clarify. I love slammed cars. And I can't afford tein's....right now anyways.

In case you DO wanna slam your car, don't rule out Sprint RX Extremes...they're awesome...just a suggestion

 

exactly the springs I am rocking..

 

i want the teins for the proformence, so if u call me a ricer i disagree. i wont even fight back so call me a ricer all u want, i just want to know what happens if i try to lower them all the way

 

I also want the Teins for the performance, but I still like a car with no wheel gap.

i agree, i would like to look good and still like to have good proformance

 

Okay the word is out, I have Tein HA's on my car. Have had them for over 2 years now. You can look in the apperence forum and see how low my car is. THats the lowest they will go with out the helper spring in. The car rides like utter **** and I raising it back up soon. I didnt buy my Tein's because I wanted a dumped car, I got them because I wanted to be able to handle. I love taking the car up in the moutains and hitting up the auto-X cross track. I have never take the car to the strip, nor do I ever plan to. Drag racing is lame!

The car was alighened when I had them all the way low and I had -3.5° camber. I think I could stick half my hand under half the tire. Skrew that! Other then the camber being imcredibly off and the car ridding like ****, I guess it looks good.

The Teins handle great, but if I was to get them again I would for sure have saved up a bit more and got the RA's with some custom spring rates.

If a slammed car with no wheel gap is what your looking for get some GC with koni shocks. Teins will do you no good.

 

i love rice

 

slamed to the ground.
i would like to think of my self as not 'rice'. but i do like my car to be slamed. and was hoping to pick up some tein's or other full coil over sysetm such as JIC/SRR. and was really hoping i could be able to have my car pretty low. [lower then 2 inch] was wishing more of 3inch if not 3.5.
and since i want a full coil system, i would not have money/time to buy a tig and re-weld my strut towers thus making my car low, and still utlizing [sp] a full strut. so we will see what happens.
whats your thoughts on SRR? s1-racing and their Nspec? any thoughts?
or even on JIC magic's race coil system?

 

thanks for the go0d info...i like my car lower than 2 inches...well with no wheel gap that is, i was gonna git some teins cause i have some money to blow but i guess some gc's and koni will do for me

 

i have tein flex's i only dropped it about 2" but from playing with mine while i was installing them. you can drop them really far.

 

ok, how about you people be nice, and show us some pix. and tell me about JIC and SRR. hehe JIC's SF-1 race coils are steal. that is their struts are steal, where tein's RA. [i think its the RA] is alu bodyed strut. why is JIC's steal?

 

RA's are made of alumuniun because it takes 10 or more times longer for them to rust thent steel. Also steel weighs a ton more too. Why not call and ask jic themselfs if you want to know more aobut them. I dont know any EF's that have JIC and only a few that have SRR (but none that have them installed) All full coilovers are pretty much the same. It just depends on the springs rates and how much you want to spend. Of coarse others have rebound conrol and preload setting, but the higher up you go the more money your going to spend. As the saying goes, you pay for what you get.

 

Let me know how the SS feel and get pics when you get them on. I know they are the replacements for the HA's. So it would be nice to accually see them on a car.

 

For the people that want a quality coilover and also want the sub 3in lowering give H&R a try they have two versions, one that is 0-3" and the other is -3"-5". I have the catalog at home and can update the part#'s to this post allong with the MSRP.

 

GC's with Tokico's, gonna go a little lower this summer with some 15" tenzo R's, no wheel gap is cool, wheel tuck is even better (IMO)

 

wheel gap =
wheel tucked =
