Hey, I was wondering which company has the best set of coilovers I can get for the money. I was leaning torwards teinbut a friend told me that I was wasting my money going for the name brand stuff. Does anyone else think that I should stick with tein or should I go for the less expensive products if there are some. I mainly want coilovers so I don't get stuck with the wrong ride hieght when I decide to do some body work. If someone could just give me their opinions on this subject or if they know of any place that has a good deal I would appreciate it.

if your ganna be drifting a lot and track racin, then go for the teins. If ur just ganna be DAily driving and street racing then go for ground control coilovers and sum KYB shocks.

Hello,
I have the tein coilovers and I love them! I do some mild drifting, But mostly daily driving. I love the quality, and they might be a little expensive. But you get what you pay for... right?

what do you want to do and how much are you looking to spend?

teins are kool, i have kyb agx's & ground control agx's. AGX GC combo is kool no complaints here.

hey jonas is that set up go0d for drifting? im ganna do mild drifting, nothing hardcore.

Jonas

i drift a good amount of times during the week, no problems, right now the agx's are set on the firmest, ive gotten used to the ride as a daily driver. Overall great ride.

awesum jonas, thx!! Ill most likely get that set up since its not that expensive.

sorry it took me so long to reply, but mostly what I want to do is daily driving, and some drifting, and some track racing maybe. I really just need some type of suspension that is reliable, and I don't want to be afraid of throwing my car around corners. Something replaceble or something that won't need to be replaced. One more thing I was going to get some name brand stuff because I would like to start an online business sooner or later and maybe open a shop. So there you go. Teins just sound like they fit my needs. A simple yes or no to teins would be the answer I need.

If you have the money Teins = Yes
If you are looking for a great brand name stuff but cheaper=Ground Control/KYB Ajustable Gas Shocks (AGX)

For daily driving you are actually better off with a progressive rate spring. I believe some tein setups simulate this with a softer tender spring in addidtion to the main constant rate spring.

To each his own, but so far since I've owned my car I have put in 30k miles on the street and none on the track (despite plans and talk). If that ratio changes I'll think about a more track-oriented setup.

I heard that coilovers eliminate the camber problem, is this right? also I don't want to be stuck with a ride hieght that is bad for a body kit if and when I get one. Are the kyb shocks setup adjustable? thanx for your help.

Justin.b

Coilovers do not necessarilly fix the camber problem. If you get a set with upper camber plates then you will be able to adjust the fronts, but the rear is the side that suffers from really bad camber after lowering.

does tein have the upper plate? I think it might.

-HyJynX-

yea the kyb/GC set up is adjustable, thats a main reason im gettin it. And i belive Tein does have the upper plates
