Hi,
I just received my new Tein coilovers today and noticed there was no pillow ball mounts to come with the package. Are the red highlighted sections in the pictures below is what’s used with the C.O? Any tips for installation?
Thanks


EDITED: Photos of OEM strut mount members required for the Tein SS Coilovers. (for future reference)

 

Yeah they use oem mounts. It would prob be a good idea to buy new strut mounts. I am unsure if kyb or oem is better.

 

Thanks, Im sure that OEM's are better.

 

Get OEM for the strut mounts. And only OEM. Stay away from KYB and I believe I've heard some hit or miss with Moog. Other than that they install pretty straight forward.

 

Thanks, are the numbers highlighted in the photos the correct members?

Page 8 & 9 will show you what is reused from the OEM mounts. The ones with the star next to them signify they are OEM parts, as opposed to what's in the box.

 

Much appreciated Z. Thanks again.

 

Dont get moog, the Tein top hat is a hair too big which cause the bearing not to spin properly and make a *POP* sound constantly.

 

I've got some OEM mounts for sale if you're looking. PM me if interested.

I'm finding it difficult to pinpoint the actual name of the plate in the tein's instruction manual. Can anyone remember what the name is of this "plate"

 

Name doesn't really matter.

Part # does. 55248N

 

Edited for complete #.

 

you must be talking about my tein/moog setup that I posted about
