Tein SS installed!

Just got my Tein Super Street coil-overs installed! Overall, this setup gives very good impression for street performance use. I'm running the stiffest setting both front and rear, and the ride is still pretty comfortable. Definitely a best bang for the $$$.

pict!



I only got the ride height lowered slightly, cause I was afraid the tires might rub. I'll definitely get another 0.5 inch off the front, and a little more off the rear.

I was told by quite a few Tein SS users that the softest setting is actually softer than stock (even those on a CRX). I turned mine to the stiffest setting and it's like 20% stiffer than stock.

I'll post some more picts soon, thanks for the compliment!

Nice drop. I was thinking about either the JIC or the Tein for when my stock suspension dies on me.

Love those wheels, too.

I know for the flex you can get the optional Tein EDFC.
