[Familia323]

nice! how is the ride? would you recommend them? and how much did you pay?

 

[mopiko]

wheel gap in front in minial, I can bearing fit my index finger in between in the front, 2 fingers in the back.

the spring rate in front is 3.0mm/kg, back 2.6mm/kg, they are comftable yet enhance the already sporty suspension.

In one 20mph ramp where my stock spring I make it through at 40mph can now push to 50mph without tire losing grip. I definitely 100% recommend it to all of you.

Parts alone costed me $210 plus labor and alignment.

The ride is about 30% harsh than the stock setup.

 

[dosle]

so i guess theres no rubbing or any of that badness?

hopefully closing the deal on my silver p5 next week, from the looks of yours thats going to be the choice for me, thx for the info

[mopiko]

I got a decent deal on it, not the best but I'm happy, the only thing is that they charged me an arm and leg for labor and alignment.... flamed my saving in a day....(flame2)

 

[Bijou-MP5]

how much was the installation?

Ahhh, the Teins....

These are the ones I am getting. Going to finish my custom exhaust this week and hopefully shortly after to order the Teins from Options. Cost is $200 shipped to my door. Installation is 0 since I am doing it myself.

lucky you brian

I actually am happy someone with a silver P5 like me got TEIN's -- so I could see how it looks. I think the look is awesome! Regarding the exhaust, I will have spent about $165.00 for a full cat-back custom 2.25" (could have done 2.5" if I wanted). I'll post pics when it is complete (should be end of week). The muffler is a mix of an RS-R, DC Sports look. Real nice.

Bijou - lucky you and HIDS! I just pulled out my car book and boy do I miss the $$$ to mod the cars.

Looks nice. I definately need a drop

 

[SnowSerpent]

Where did you guys get the TEIN's from?

Aren't TEIN's over a 1k?

 

[PaulMP3]

[SnowSerpent]

coilover are. springs are around 200

with factory shocks?

 

[mopiko]

Yes the S-tech is a spring set only, no shocks, the SS (super street) however is a coilover set.

Just labor alone costed me almost $400 with alignment, and glad to be able to show some of you how a 2" drop will make our nice car look nicer and coner better.

 

[Bijou-MP5]

man...labor costs you $400?? hmmm i was thinking around $200.. I guess 'i'm too cheap

Wow. That's a lot of $$$.

which means that with the SS the shocks are replaced... which is why they cost so much more. You get so much more.
