Tein Street Basis Coilovers!!!

[treezy13]

I have them on my 01 sedan,
the rear is on the lowest setting and still not tucking rim.
Does anybody know exactly which shorter springs to get from tein to lower the rear more?

The wheel gap in the rear is no joke son! ((

damn if u wanted to slam ur car that much then tien was definatly a bad way to go.....

tein and slammed dont go together lol

I mean i knew they wouldnt go as low as F&Fs but i got them off one of my partners for like $400. the front is slammed but the rear isnt and i heard tein gives shorter springs to slammed the rear.

Like stated above man. Teins were not made for the slammed crowd. You try to slam it you'll probably end up blowing the struts. A 2.5in drop is the max I would do with those. After that your just nullifying the whole point of Teins. They're made for comfort. The Japanese at the Tein company weren't looking to build a suspension for folks that want to be slammed. That why there's only one way to drop it with those. Coilovers like Func./Form and a couple others actually have the whole strut body threaded so you can keep your suspension travel and still be as low as you like.

Sell the Teins and get some Func./Forms bro. Sure the $400 is a great deal but if you wanna be slammed and save a little money, Func./Form Type Ones are $588 shipped off ebay.

i took off a collar and had the spring sit on one collar... tucked a little bit of tire.

lol derek,

you see that lol
i can't go up and down without bottoming out, and that's doing the widest angle you can think of. lol manual now too, which is even more work lol

Tein Basis/Basic/SS/Advance are not made to slam. They're made for a functional>looks drop. They'll take you as low as pinky finger up front and no gap on rear.

Where as FF/Megan/Ksport etc are made to slam but will ONLY go as high as pinky finger gap which can be more looks>functional.

I think her exhaust right now is about 1" if not less of the ground lol.

Ask the property management to re-do the ramp more gradually for you =P
