i hope you paid less than the 1250 on their website..cause thats tein $$

 

look nice.

 

Subscribing.

 

$1250

 

nah man i didnt pay 1250 but got a deal on them so hopefully when they install it tomorrow i didnt waste my time

 

they look cool and +10 for you being a difference maker on this forum... my next coilover setup will be the NEX GT

 

What are they replacing -- original SE struts and springs?

 

yes is replacing the stock se suspension... my front struts are pretty much gone I bottom out on the freeway, and I just was to try something different.

 

i really hope you love these and they turn out great... i like how they look

 

Forget everything else. Are the dampers any good?

 

x2!!

 

really?? soo what price did u really get it for if u didnt get it for $1250? crap thats alotta moolah!

 

Agreed. For that money, why not purchase Teins? I understand you (OP) got a special deal; but for the rest of us, $1250 isn't exactly a competitive game-changer.

20 adjustments on the C8, vs. 16 adjustments on the Super Streets. I can't see why that matters.

But they're pretty. No denying that.

 

Well is r&d so I got it for 400 installed! In fact Ima getting installed right now and hella bored from waiting to be finish!!! Ahhhhhhhbahahahahaha.....

So I'll post some pics and reviews on the coilover by this weekend! Btw he said they are like k sports! Anyhow hope for the best!

 

they're around on the 240 scene, all these coilovers anre made in the same place just branded and built differently to the designer's specs

I think you'll be happy

 

Thanks man good to heard that! If anyone wants to join me Ima in Huntington bch, stimulated motorsports! Haha

 

also, are they rebuildable like the teins, or when a damper blows, to you have to replace it?

 

I guess with the r&d they hit a speed bump and they have to figure out some washers issues in the rear so they said by Tuesday they should have everything figure out..... Ughhhhhhhhhh

 

Seems to be rather high spring rates.

 

400 bucks.. i can see why you went for it.. i would too..

 

400 is ultimate... if it stays at that price those are officially my next setup lol... even if i had 1250 to spend i personally still wouldnt buy the teins, doesnt go as low as i want

 

Without knowing if they're any good?
Strictly price driven purchase decision? Really?

At those spring rates? Yikes.

 

i wouldnt get your hopes up for 400 bux..the OP is installing them for R&D..

 

You're not feeling the Teins anymore, Hustler? Somewhere along the way, I got the impression that was something you wanted.

 

Yeah the front are really up there. I got a feeling they'll be changing them to 8.0 kg/mm during testing. Thats still pretty stiff tho.

 

wow talk about overpriced, +1 on what secondtonone said, these are the same coilovers that are all over ebay for half the price.

 

Teins use OEM strut mounts, so you cannot adjust camber. The C8sports use pillowball mounts so you should be able to do camber adjustment.















patiently awaits review...

 

Worked for me with performance I don't see wat could be so bad... check the mod sig, and I got my jic coilovers for $400... like second to none said they are all the same just tweeked to manufacture likings... no yikes here... I probebly pay a quarter of most for the same output with my max (performance, Looks, and maintainance) yes I'm price driven

 

Naw bro, check the record.. now teins are great coilovers n when I first looked at 5th gen coilovers (years ago) that's wat I wanted cause that's all I knew but after trying other coilover setups and researching, I don't think teins is for me... my dream coilover is JIC FLT-TAR the VIP setup, I just can't find myself dishing out that much for some coilovers, not to mention I always wanted to try the NEX GT even before perkman guinea pigged em, buy it just never happen...I will like every laste coilover kit made for our cars (that's just me) however tein and k-sport are far from my mind... tein-too much money to not go as low, k-sport- I already tried those.. next up NEX GT or these

 

ill take it that its brand spakin new? lol 400 thats a total steal weather if its new or used with installation included. lucky. 400 thats like gettin a nice spring and strut/shock combo

 

+1827482... definately a steal

 

With height, dampening and camber adjustment, would that mean the C8sports are designed for track & street, whereas the Teins are primarily a drag & steet coilover?

 

Correct.

 

Thanks, Moncef. I think I just learned something about suspensions. Man, I love this forum.

So the C8's come with pillowball mounts; is that what enables for camber adjustment on the coilover, or is it simply a design requirement when the coilover supports camber adjustment?

You can get pillowball mounts for the Teins. From what I've read, it's not a comfortable experience, the word "pillow" notwithstanding.

 

Learn? On the .Org?



But really, on the cheaper coilovers pillowball mounts are notorious for making noise (sort of a metal on metal, ball peen hammer type noise) which is why a lot of people like the Tein SS regardless of the lack of camber adjustment. Smooth and reasonably quiet. The JIC-magic coils have rubber bushings to keep the noise down yet still allow you to adjust camber for track use.

Pillowball mounts are able to support camber adjustment. What this means is it's a big marketing push for pillowball mounts for guys who are in this business. You're also supposed to get more steering/handling feedback as well, and you're correct about pillowballs (on nearly any coilover) to not be as comfortable.

Let's hope the C8sport coilovers don't have any noise issues here.

 

they look sick , wen u get them on post some pics .I wanta see the before/after...and how they feel ..

 

Very nice explanation.

Just keep paying forward, and it'll come back to you.

And now this product page makes sense to me: http://www.tein.com/products/upper_mount.html



...at which point $1250 starts to look a lot more reasonable. Teins with pillowball mounts would cost considerably more.

 

And you will love them

 

Front spring rates on C8 A33 application are 142% of Tein SS, yet rear spring rates are identical.

So....did Tein really get it that wrong?
Or is it something else....

Hmmm.
