I need a good set of coilovers but don't wanna spend the money on JICs. I know the D2s have all those problems, so I'm hoping someone has the Tein's on their 4th gen. If so, do you like them? Give me your all-around opinions about them. Thanks guys

 

u have done extensive rsearch and if i had the cash i would get them the onlly down fall i see is the dampening is not adjustable.....but it is a true coilover......i woudl recommend www.wholesalehyperformance.com

 

tein coilovers ride like a dreams and handles like a dream. I don't have em but a friend of mine on the .org does. we cut at 90 degree turn at like 50+ all i have to say is WOW. not a single churp from the tires.

 

yup, and that friend is me, i love them, very comfortable, even though dampening is non-adjustable, tein trully found the sweet spot for these coilovers. most performance along with comfort. i dont regret getting these at all, i just wish i had went with these in the first place.

 

How much you paid for all 4 coilovers?

 

Where is the cheapest/best place to order the Tein's from?

Also, you can't adjust the stiffness?

 

i love my teins. s-turns are so amazing now. floatyness is gone. and i dont really think you need adjustable dampening unless you plan on opening your hood an jumping in the trunk everytime u decide to change settings.

 

I love mine. I wouldn't have the car any other way. I got them straight off when I got rid of the stock suspension, so I never had springs and struts or anything, although everyone that has ridden with me agrees that they feel really good. You don't need to adjust them, because they are set at the optimal damping for the spring rate

 

I've had mine for about three weeks, very nice ride, it did settle a little more, so i've got to readjust them. Remember that you will have to drill them bigger so the bolts will work. I had ground controls with agx's, so its a huge difference in ride quality.

 

drill them bigger so the bolts will work? what do you mean?

 

I wish I could afford these now, but I cant, s-tech agx for now. Planing to go coil over once I land a sweet job.

 

They're right around $800. I've heard nothing buy good, and when I get suspension it's what i'll get.

 

What do you mean drill them bigger? Drill what bigger?

Also what is the best site to buy these from?

 

well i just decided from this thread, im getting them. anybody else want to. someone else they are willing to buy some too. maybe we can get a group buy going.

joshua

 

whats that suppose to mean??? i m plannin to get these end of the month or beginning of the month..

 

ok, you have the drill the hole bigger where the bottom of the strut holds on to the arm. For some reason tein did not make that whole the right size.
i emailed them, and they gave me some bs, which did not make me very happy, from a company like that to just lie. other than that, i love my coilovers. i have had them for about an year now. no problems.

 

For all 4 struts? Or just the front 2?

i saw them cheaper somewhere i am trying to remember

 

What are you talking about peter? Teins suck!!!





Check the sig for all the info you'll ever want about Tein Basics.

 

they have them on sale at redlinemax for 750

 

thats where i saw them cheaper

 

Dan, your car is looking good man~! my car looks like crap now compared to yours. anyways....hey, its just the front, the rears are perfect!

 

whats wrong with the d2's??

 

Problems with fitment as well as rattling noises and stuff..theres an ongoing thread in the 5th gen forum about these..lots of problems with clanking noises and rubbing and stuff like that..i think like 95% of people who have them are having these problems

 

smackdown, are you talking about D2's or Teins?

 

Thx Pete!

Ironically, I'm doing a BBK on my car as we speak.


You getting some bigger rotors, or sticking with what you got?

 

dont like the bigger rotors. i dont like the way the calipers only grip a certain amount of the rotors and it will look pretty funny that way IMO.

 

redlinemax.com has them for $805 now.

anybody else ready to order, maybe we can get them down on the price with a few orders. i want to do my suspension while i still have my 92 maxima to drive my son around it. im ready to order some.

 

guys, im getting the ksports, and i have talked to many ksport dealers, and even the owner of ksport usa, so far they say that they havnt heard of any noise problems with them. I have put my order through already, and am just waiting on their reply. There is a company called millenium motorsports in NY that are selling them for 700 shipped. Although the thread has been deleted since a sponser is trying to set up a GD i have some information. The 700 shipped price is only untill the end of april though.. so yea.. its going to be too late when i get my ksports... hrmm... well either way, there are many options out there, i just dont like the idea of non adjustable dampening...

 

honestly, i when i had other adjustable shocks, i never really changed my settings. How many times do you really change the settings of your car?

Tein is a good company, even though they are not dampening adjustable, they made these coilovers to drop low and have a such great comfortability while driving.
oh....and did i mention that these outperform any spring and shock combo i have had in the past?

 

i have Tein Super Streets (Height and dampening is adjustable) on my Spec V. They're pretty good for street use and makes the car look great.

 

I'm talking about the D2's

Teins sound good so far from what everyone says!

 

well for 700 shipped... i will go with the ksports

 

well...i have never heard of that brand name. i would personally pay a little extra for the better company. but if that's what you choose, good luck!
hope everything goes well.

 

Ksport has just been introduced to the maxima community, they are pretty high quality products, check out ksportusa.com They are kind of like the D2's but supposidly with out the problems

 

Supposedly without problems is all they are right now. I hope you take the initiative to buy these. If you do, make sure you give us a full review about a month after installation!

 

I was just at the ksport site and its 1150 not including shipping, i think, where are you getting 700 shipped from? You are talking about the Kontrol Pro coilover kit right? these ones:
http://www.ksportusa.com/products/index.html

 

yup those are the ones, im getting them for 700 shipped from a company out in ny, their email is love4life77@yahoo.com. i lost their phone number though, and i think the 700 shipped is only untill today, BUT you can still get them for 740 shipped from the GD that Jinsu is running

and i have already ordered these just waiting for them to come in, and once they are on i will let you guys know how i like em at first, than a follow up after about a month

 

i rode in my homies 5th gen and his max doesnt make that much sound and rides nice and smoothly...they rubbing is barely there too...besides...its a much smarter choice than teins...

 

Have you ridden on Teins before?
