Default You might hate me for this (Help - Tein HA Suspension)

I have just been offered a set of these, they are hardly used and come with the pillow mounts at the top.

I have been looking through the forum and you seem to show some negativity to these coilover units.

I woudl like fully adjustable, so the options here in the UK at a reasonable price are KW suspension, and bilstein (only height adjustable)

Are the HA's worth it really, will they withstand the horrid weather we have over here ?

i was all set to get them until i read some of the posts about being the Tein base model ..

help .... please

Whats wrong with them? I have had HAs for about 6 months now, I love them.

Asahi had them for couple years I think and also was very pleased with them.

I love mine. I dont really drive my car in bad weather though. Rust could be a problem unless they are coated.

I have owned TEIN's for the last 3 year up until January when I went to Zeals. They are very nice. Handled well. I would not use the pillow ball mounts on the TEIN's personally.

I had no rusting problems and they handled things quite well.

mine are great in my EK. I have the pillowballs too. If there is something loose in your car, it will surely ratle with the pillowballs.

Just coat the outer threads with lithium grease and you should be fine in that dreary godforsaken climate you have in the UK.

thanks

you have set my mind at ease on these now ...


one other question..

what do you think is the best damper settings for the Tein's

it will be primarily street use, although hoping to get some track use in this year at the Nurburgring in Germany :D

thanks again
