would anyone get some teins (basic) for 650 brand new or would you people just go buy ground controls and tokico shocks instead?

 

Id buy teins.. Just cus there teins.. So I dont count :D

 

yah know what. ive been thingking about this too
.

 

i would go for the basics, since they are a matched assembly and simplifies everything. with the GC and tokico setup, you have to mess with sleeves and collars etc.

 

I baught a set of full Tein Basic Dampering system and I love it. no more bouncing compaired to my other gas struts w/cheap coil overs, bumps are twice as soft and rides like a dream. you can still feel the road but it's smooth at the same time. Definatley recommended to others.

yeah thanks, i looked at that thread but its too much that i would pay for ($850)..thne teins are much cheaper for what i can get em for ($650)

 

what was your old set up? im really siding by the teins thus far..is the ride really smooth? what about the bump, how bad or good is it?

 

well, look at it this way, for 650, you can't go wrong with Teins. I have a set of Tein HA's on my crx, they no longer make that model, but the equivelent now would be the SS's i believe. But i paid 1250 for mine, way back when like 3 years ago. So IMO i think it's a gooood buy.

 

GC's paired with Koni Sports. or just Lowering springs and AGX's. if this is a daily driver that'll suffice, and the progressive spring rates on the lowering springs offer a much more forgiving ride quality. Daily or Competition that's the better question

 

daily driven..gc paired with any shocks...

 

does the rust affect the performance of the springs?

 

thtas true but they have their company based in Los Angeles and I think that they come with lifetime warranty..i dont know if this is correct, but from what i heard they do

 

i'm thinking about taking the progress coilover route. anyone know how the progress would compare to the teins?
