none of that sleeve coilover BS like ground control, skunk2....etc etc please
i'm talking about real coilovers. just curious what you guys are running. how you like them? pros and cons.

i'm looking for a new set. i need something i can adjust for daily driving and maybe tracking it (plan on doing it someday ). i've been looking at the tein SS but i'm stuck because its in between the basic and flex .

please enlighten me with suggestions, etc etc. TIA

 

damn, I hear ya big money... Why are you stuck between flex and the basic's?

well i basically want some opinions. it is going to last me for a while, so its not like an oil filter where i'm going to change it out after a couple of months. i just want opinions .

ok so are the SS more towards the basics or flex's in terms of performance? because if they're like the basic's i'll get basics, or if they're like flex's i'll get flexs.

but also what are other brands that are in the same performance range??

 

Tokico Illuminas Full kit
I love the adjustable height and ride quality on my hatch!!

 

i like the SS....nice ride but you can get em stiff when you want

I think that's because more people here use the 'fake' coilovers like gc than the 'real' one's. I've heard lots of good things about the Tein SS, but some people say the spring rates are a little soft.

 

I have tein SS and i think that they are great.

 

I have the KW variant 2 setup and absolutely love them. The only thing I might have changed is gotten the variant 3 instead. If I bought another civic or integra I'd definitely order another set of these. Larry

s6!!!!!!!!

 

Tein Flex with the Edfc

ride is really good i would recommend it since its one of your choices you are stuck between and the edfc just makes it even more convienient to adjust plus you can set 3 presets on adjustments so you can have a preset for strrt/daily driving use,track use (1320) or auto-x/road race use......good luck

 

I've got the Apexi World Sport N1 Dampers for the DC2. just had to get the lca's. handling has been overall pretty good. not the STIFFEST ride but pretty stiff. get a good set of tires and strut tower bars, sways, etc, and itll do fairly good on the track.

 

tein ss

 

buddy club racing spec dampers....15 way adjustable... ....loved them when i had them...

thats right i was gunna buy those and you swooped on them back in the day!!!!!!!!

get the flex's dood . youll be happier with those than the ss's and the edfc is saucy

 

ahhh, all i remeber was seeing green Dont get the tein basics if you plan to do some tracking. It all depends on what your plans are, i have the SS on my car and they are good for daily and "spirited" driving. http://www.tein.com has specs on all their suspensions. I rode in a car equiped with buddy club coils (dont know what model) and that ish was extremely harsh. Zeal are very nice coils also, and very high quality. So many options lol.

that's why i asked!!!

 

don't buy the hype. read this http://www.grassrootsmotorsports.com/shocks.html
i don't understand why you people insist that a 'real' coilover setup will out perform a koni / gc sleeve. it makes no sense at all.

i have the ss and they suck. i finally got my car to come around good enough this weekend. front shocks need to be full soft, rear full stiff. also a comptech rear sway / tie bar set on medium, es poly bushings and azenis with pressures of 35F 29R. i can't wait to sell them.

they are good if you just want ride comfort .. but i race my car. if i wanted comfort i'd keep the stock suspension on.

so if you like an understeering semi comfortable car that requires many other corrective modifications to provide what you really should want, get those pretty green worthless teins.

but if you'd rather have a car that does what it should, maybe you should consider reputation and facts instead of internet hype; where every 14 year old kid who can type is automatically a chassis prep expert who bangs supermodels.

 

not to thread jack, but whats the name of the "cups-washer-thingamager" that goes on the bottem of the coil over sleeve? they come with the skunk2 kits and i guess from my understanding they only go on the front sleeves....so anyone no the name? or better yet a place where i can just buy those i guess retainer type deal?....anyways free bump
