I'm getting this installed next week...
http://sportcompactonly.com/product....2053&c=170&l=2
I was looking to see what setting you guys preffered vs the standard setup of these...
I tried searching, but didnt get a specific answer... so please help..
Please let me know....
Thanks
Manoj

 

i have these tein coilovers and they are amazing!! the car handles awesome and the stance looks great... for now i have them set at #8 for the damper and the gaps are both even at about 3/4 of an inch

 

Thanks for writing back...
Now... how hard are these to adjust the height if I had to do them myself?
Im getting them professionally done along with my Slotted Rotors tomorrow!

 

mine are set to 8, in the front adn in the back. IMO that is probably the best setting for everyday driving mix city/freeway.

 

adjusting is pretty easy... all the tools you need come with them and the directions are clear... alos just ask the guys at the shop for a quick lesson

 

or you can just get the edfc and adjust from inside the car with a touch of a button.

 

I got them installed today and it wasnt that hard I guess!
The instructions were missing in the box, so I had to find it online and fax it to the shop! I had them set it at 8.

I love the lowww look!
Any kind of regular maintenance required on these?

 

yes, that is for the damping force.... ride height you do by hand

 

guys when I am turning the steering wheel all the way to the left I hear a loud clanging noise... anyone else experience this? I am taking it to the shop tomorrow to check it out...

 

from what i have read this is a common problem with coilovers, i saw some solutions to this on a thread somewhere.

 

anybody want the EDFC for this supsension setup? i'm too lazy to install it. hehe
I have the tein ss coilvoers install and have it on 7f/8r... i wanan turn it up a bit though...a little too soft for me. =)

 

How do these compare to the JIC's? Can you guys post pics?

 

The coilovers should make no noise, especially with a high quality kit like the Tein SS. You should take it back to the shop to have a look. Usually, the collars come loose the first few times upon installation unless you put thread lock on them.

 

hey any luck on fixing this??? i have the same problem... is it an easy fix before i go to the shop on the 6th?

 

Pics of said kit or ban.

Im wondering how these are in comparison to KSports.

 

pricier > cheaper ?

 

Im taking it in tomorrow and I will post what we find...

KSport was highly recommended cuz od the 32 way adjustments, but I was looking for comfort.. so I decided to go with Tein SS... Defenitely pricier, but only an extra 150 though! So unless you are planning to adjust it, go with Teins... my .02

 

Dropped on tein ss. =)

AND MIsiek!!! I FORGOT TO BRING YOUR EDFC!! ARGHH... pm me and i'll give you my number to remind me or text me to night. sorry!

 

Alrite......here's whats going on...
They put it on a lift and noticed that the left steering components was hitting the bottom of the strut, which they said would be taken care of after an alignment job. So, for now they put a lil grease so it doesnt make that clanging noise... so its not a big deal.... defenitely getting an alignment next week!

 

Any updates from your end?
Mine is gone! I still havent gotten the alignment done!

 

how much did it cost you total - parts and labor?

 

Parts came out to 900.
labor was 300.
I really love the drop! It's just perfect!

 

I have this same Tein coilovern setup and when I first installed them, I got that pinging of the springs when I would turn my wheel all the way to the left or right. I ended up putting some grease on the perch where the springs sit and that seem to take care of most of it. One thing I did notice is when I turn my wheel all the way to the right or left, it would then pull to that side. I thought my alignment done because I thought it was just way off after the install and they said the alignment was perfect. I'm figuring some how the springs aren't fully releasing when you straighten out the wheel which is causing the pull to either side. Anyone else have this with the TEIN SS?

 

Also, has anyone had axle problems with riding their car low? My CV joints were clickin like crazy when I turned and ended up clicking whenever I was accelerating, even going straight. I got new axles, and the guy gave me the life time warranty on them. within the last 9 months, I've gone through 3 sets of axles. The boots don't rip, just sounds like it's about to fall appart. But then when I raise the car back up, it pretty much goes away. I've had a civic and an integra both dumped and never once had CV joint or any axle issues at all. Any ideas?? PLEASE HELP

 

How much did you drop your car? I Have my heigth set to the settings they advice in the manual: NO CLICKING, NO PINGING, NO RUBBING... if you can hear your coilovers, you have not installed them correctly, especially Tein SS. I mean if you had k-sport or some other brokeback product, i would not be surprise, but Teins are build WELL.

 

Do we hear flaming?


Steven88 + MaxBoost925 = K-Sport.

Let's show them how its done. Make some vids of us on the twisties with the tail sliding out

 

did you ever stiffen the rear springs? its pretty fun mang

 

I would believe so. I havn't preloaded the rears like you tho.

 

i got d2s and i am satisifed. my bro is running k-sports and he is satisfied also. teins are overpriced because of the name and the color.

 

But Teins are good. So are JIC's

 

Here's the latest..
Im thinking of selling the Tein SS Coilover set...
I wanna go back to stock! Whats a good price to sell it for?
I've had it for 6 months and 2000 miles!

Im getting bored of the drop and also the occasional unexpected scraping!

 

PM me with info on the coilovers. And we should meet up sometime, on the real (this time)!

 

Still looking to sell this..
What's a good price to sell this for?

 

wow...that didn't take long.

 

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

 

Thanks for laughing at a 3 year old thread. Now I'm laughing at you.

 

haha!

 

I wonder about people sometimes. Haha

 

me too

 

i know where those coilovers are now. i should have hoped on that deal myself....
