TEIN SS Coilovers

[ndedomin]

Yeah, I agree. I wish the SS coilovers had front camber adjustment. But, I love the EDFC enough to overlook that for now.

until your tires wear unevenly. I have cobb springs and my camber is off. I couldn't imagine being lower

 

[ndedomin]

True, but I get my alignments done at a place that takes their alignments VERY seriously. With the combination of that and the rear camber arms I am putting on, I should be ok for a little while at least.


And I've been looking at getting camber plates to throw on, K-Mac Adjustable Front Camber Plates specifically, which replace the OEM upper strut mounts and should fit nicely and do the job fine.

i have no idea what u guys are talking about out there but nice drop man, that's the kinda drop i want.

 

[JeffrWRX]

Are these out already?

How is camber adjusted in the front without pillowball/camber plates?

 

[ericrapp]

How is front camber adjusted on any of our aftermarket coilers? i would like to know. I have a set of Ksports not installed, and the opening that the strut stud is secured and the camber plate will not allow room for much adjustment unless it was done before installation. Those folks who have the BCs know what i mean. How are folks fixing this?

If you don't have camber plates, then you can't adjust front camber. But if you do have camber plates, to access them, you have to cut that area with 3- 3 1/4" holesaw.

YES! they are out

 

[disitrb]

YES! they are out

They are not out yet I call yesterday to order and they said it should out by july they are still waiting a shipment from Japan. they told the me the spring rates are the same as regular 3 but the shock body is shorter for a better drop.

 

[LinuxRacr]

Wait, the 3 will have the electronic adjustment from the cabin available? I wish the Protege would have had enough room under the hood!

Apologising

If you don't have camber plates, then you can't adjust front camber. But if you do have camber plates, to access them, you have to cut that area with 3- 3 1/4" holesaw.

That is what i thought. I have the camber plates on i was hoping there was a magic way to do this without weakening the structure. Sorry to interrupt the the thread but i though you folks should be aware that to get the full negative camber adjustment in front we will need to do this. Love Teins, used them and always excellent pieces!

I don't think it'll really weaken the structure. If you don't want to cut the hole bigger, you can always just keep taking the coilover out and doing it. But that just requires more work.

Same spring rate as the regular 3? I thought they need to be a little stiffer for the MS3?

Yes i considered that too. But it would could still be a LOT of trial and error to dial in with weightingthe corners and such. Thank you. I have 510lb springs in front and i think someone could get hurt, like me. And that is a good point, the speed springs are quite a bit stiffer i think i recall.

love the drop and the rims but the drop looks really low. good luck driving in crappy road in socal...
