Default Tein

Need help on which Tein suspension would be best for me.

What I need:
Adjustable height, so coilovers is a must for me. Enough to tuck tires.
Not too expensive.

What I don't want:
A bouncy ride.
The coilovers to give up on me.


I want a Tein suspension, but there is too many to choose from and I have no idea which one is good, but cheap in price.

Note: I'm not a baller.

Can't have your cake and eat it too man...

Tein SS have adjustable damping. . . Will set you back round $1200 though, you may want to search into another setup. Possibly Springs/Strut combo...

especially if you are only wanting adjustable suspension to lower the car. Tein has a variety of coilovers because they want to provide a range products for different driving uses. They have a basic coilover that has no damper adjustability and are by far the cheapest they sell. Omni also makes a basic coilover similar to this that are on the cheaper range.

Just remember you get what you pay for.

Can you tell us why you are so dead-set on Tein suspension? I'm guessing you have no experience with their products, otherwise you wouldn't be asking about it. Are you just wanting that JDM bling?

Please don't succumb to that mode of thinking and buy stupidly overpriced JDM parts just for the name. A good Koni/GC setup is about the best bang for the buck setup you can get in terms of adjustability, quality parts, and performance.

Just know this: you will not have any kind of smooth ride if you're "slammed" and/or tucking tires. It just isn't possible. It's either going to ride extremely stiff, or it will bottom out on the bump stops all the time (bouncy). By saying that you "need" the ability to tuck tires, I'm guessing that performance isn't high on the list. Just don't expect ride quality to be high on the list, either.
