Tein Coilover Q

Can 5th gen suspension fit on 4th gens? because Tein doesn't make super streets for 4th gen. And i already have the basics but i want something that can adjust the ride harshness.

The bolt spacings are slightly different on all but the lower mounting point on the rears. and the only reason that one fits is because its only one bolt. Bolt and stud diameters were slightly different too on the upper mounts if I remember correctly. You could probably re-drill the holes in the strut towers to receive the fifth gen studs. You would also have to adjust one of the holes on the lower front strut where it mounts to the spindle to compensate for a slight spacing difference.
I would take the easy way out and just get some Illuminas or AGXs if you dont mind loosing the height adjustability.

How deep are your pockets?

JIC's are great.

I believe you only have two choices when it comes to JIC's.

JIC Magics, and FLT-A2 VIP's (newer style)
