I'm looking for two helper springs and two spacer spring seats to put on my tein ss front coilovers. Any ideas where to get it?

Just order helper springs from eibach. All you'll need is the inside diameter measurement (I believe Tein is metric). Check out the eibach site catalogue to get the right sized helper springs

'Lude01

thats a good idea, I'll try that, tein helper springs are 70mm ID

We only have 2.25" and 2.50", which are standard. They like to use oddball sizes to make it harder for the consumer

Why does the online catalogue show 60mm (can't remember if 70mm is there too)? Maybe it's just an older version?

Failing that, check out h&r springs.

Since you're in the GTA, call Kensai Racing - they carry the Tein line and might be able to help you.

60mm stuff is common in the UK. We do not sell it here, as the majority of the market is 2.25 or 2.50.

'Lude01

yeah I just checked the catalogue the 70mm is also in there. This is the part # that I found 0080.070.0003

'Lude01

could I use 60 mm by any chance?

TPB

Unfortuantely no way because your mounting hardware (perches) won't accept the smaller diameter springs and in fact the springs might not fit over the shock body.

'Lude01

oh they would fit over the body of the shock no problem but I would still rather get the right size

vtecvoodoo

have you called Tein or any of their dealers?

i think i remember hypercoil having resonably priced helper springs.

'Lude01

hypercoil doesn't have 70mm springs either, I contacted one tein dealer here in Canada they gave some crazy expensive price, but tein's web site says $24...so nobody here has tein SS with helper springs?
