tein

[SPEEDYHANS]

is there n-e-one here on tein coilover i want to know what u guys think about them if u like or heit them what do u think .

 

[djza2u1]

where can you get them?

 

[SPEEDYHANS]

u can call tein there tell u there dealers it depens on ur area

 

[djza2u1]

i ask because on there web site it says "still in development"

jflo on here has their prototypes for the MS3. All they basically did was add stiffer springs. He's had them for almost 2 years I believe.

 

[SPEEDYHANS]

They need to update the web site I if u call the and ask the. For a part #they will give it to u that how I order my

I had the TEIN SS-P with EDFC on my tC and loved that set-up... so if it's anything like how their set-up performed on the tC it's lovely.

 

[SPEEDYHANS]

I cant weit to get them

Which model is available for the MS3? Teins have always been rather iffy in the Honda world - some rust issues up here in the rainy NW and their damping rates are all over the place. Does not seem to justify their cost - they're strictly average at best.

Most certainly crap

Their damper inconsistency alone is enough to keep me from buying them...

Not too professional of a reference you are using there. There are two reasons.

"DO NOT LINK IMAGES INTO FORUM POSTS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!!"
He specifically threatens users not to use the information he posted, although there is nothing legally preventing anyone from visiting the website or sharing it in forums or blogs.

"Well it does lower the CG height - but it also takes away the little bit of extra spring rate that the gas pressure adds, and worse, it exposes the shock to cavitation - like this:"

It definitely is not an engineer doing that study. Dampers don't have spring rates, they have damping coefficients.

Um, if you read in there:

Again, if you are in the Stock-class game, you may not have a choice but to run tons of shock force; you are prohibited by the rules from changing springs, and stiff shocks will act like "fake springs" in transitions. But once you graduate to classes that let you change springs, shock forces should plummet.

Re-read and notice he said 'in transitions', where the shock has some velocity.

Also, and this was on another forum where he actually signed up, he just doesn't want anyone to hot-link images.

I get what ur saying and i respected but were im at everyone that has them seems to like to ride and some members do to so i wouldnt call them crap because if they wore crap then noone would be buying them

They may not be THAT bad, but if you can get Hypercoils and Bilsteins and have them custom valved for $65 a corner and KNOW they are dead on balls accurate and spend less money, which would you prefer?

 

[SPEEDYHANS]

I would still buy the tain for the reason that i dont have to go on the mission on doing all that with the tein is just plug and play

 

[SPEEDYHANS]

Well look what i found i guess tein are a really bag cause even ken block uses them deam they must suck if he usese them(sssh)

Yea and f1 uses off the shelf parts too you dreamer

Also, which model tein are you talking about?

Tein ss with edfc
