Anybody know anything about these? How they stack up to D2s?

 

Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?

 

well, i ordered mine from s.w.a. and im not sure about the d2's, but i love my teins, i have em droped almost all the way. sorry, im not a suspension person, but after cheap coilovers and springs, these ride way better and the quality is great. no pics... yet

 

Go with Teins, i have the Teins, and they ride and perform great! made well!
just go with brand name, and besides, what are you going to do with D2's?
is not like you will be changing your setting all the time.

 

im going with the ss coilover and edf.. should be nice once i get it..

 

Thanks for your responses. I definitely don't plan to be adjusting the coilovers once they're on. Is that the only advantage to the D2s?

It seems like I could save about $100 if I go with the Teins, so I'm basically just trying to figure out if it's worth it to spend the extra dough on the D2s or not.

 

do the teins retain full suspention travel ?

 

I've ridden in a 4th gen with Teins, slammed, lower than me... I love the ride.

 

Whats the price diff, if it isnt much, go with tiens.

For one thing you will get them in time, iv'e ben waiting 3 months now and i have lost hope. I hear many people are having issues and everyweek the expected delivery date gets pushed back...

 

im on the teins and I Love the ride so does everyone thats been in my car : ) If you got the money do it definetly!

 

You can get some info here: http://maxmods.dyndns.org/index.php?MaximaCoilovers

 

that site is cool and always get it when i ask a Q,

but sometimes its better to get someones personal opinion ...

 

:attention

 

I love my Basics. I don't care to adjust the settings all the time and these come set from the factory at the best strut settings for the spring rate. I've never hit the bumpstops and I'm always running over junk. I lowered them pretty far down too. They are definitely a quality piece.

The only funky thing you have to worry about when you install them is that the holes for the lower strut mounts on the front are too small, so you'll have to drill them out a bit. Strange, I know, but whatever.

As I said, I'm lowered pretty far (about 1 - 1.5 finger gap) and I just got my alignment today and I wasn't even that far out of spec, so that's cool.

All said, I love 'em.

 

I'm pretty psyched about how the Tein Basics sound. Where did y'all buy them from and how much did they cost shipped?

The best deal I've found so far is $845 shipped. Anybody know of anything better?

 

can i ask were was the 845 shipped?

 

I got mine off a deal in the 4th gen classifieds for $785 shipped from ImportCarPartsPlus.

Damn, how long ago was that? That's a steal!

 

At reccomended height, yes. Anything lower is asking for trouble without a stiffer spring, but I don't have trouble with mine unless the surface is super bad.



I got mine from Ange at www.redlinemax.com for 825 shipped.




Onramps and offramps with these coilovers rock. I think now that mine have settled I'm going to drop it a tiny tiny bit further next wheel rotation.

 

Thing is, I checked out redlinemax and they don't have any.

 

I've been talking to my mechanic about doing the install of the Tein Basic Coilovers and he's skeptical of dropping the rear more than 1" because of the camber. I've found a front camber adjustment kit, but not one for the rear and he thinks that the stress on the tires would wear them too much. Does anybody know of any rear camber adjustment kits? If not, how are your rear tires holding up?

 

I'll be happy to beat anyone's price on these. All you gotta do is give me a call to order.

 

Solid rear beam suspension. No need for camber adjustments.

 

haha, i got mine for $710 picked up. i only live an hr. away from that place. =)

 

PETE, YOU = TEH SUCKAGE!


I am jealous......

 

HAHA.....Dan, did not mean to rub it in your face!

 

Basics arent adjustable (dampening)...

The ride height is the only adjustable thing on these, hense the name coilover....

 

word you dont need to worry anything about that.. I did however install camber bolts for the front which definently needed them but not its perfect!

 

Find another mechanic, he has no clue what he's talking about.

 

Are you on springs or the coilovers?

 

Basics.

 

you gotta be kidding me....solid rear axle.

 

i dont think they make the SS's for the 4th gen maxima, bc i was gonna put them on my honda with the edfc and then sold it and bought the max (correct me if im wrong)

 

Nope not available for the 4th gen, but available for the 5th gen. It will fit the 4th gen with slight modifications tho..

 

im just wondering - for a daily driver, is the ability to change the dampening really that big of a deal or advantage. im not sure if i really need it?

 

o very cool....

 

bump 10chars

 

what kind of modification would you need to place the SS on? just wondering...

 

bump - anyone?
