I don't know who the official vender for TEIN on here is, but I'm looking for tein SS with Pillows for my 06. Obviously with the best price possible.

What's wrong with teins? I had a set of tein flex on my old hatchback, s2000 and they performed good. I had no problem with any part of the tein. I myself is looking for a good price of tein super streets also or flex for my evo 9 SE.

what would you reccomend for suspension then? I've used buddy club n+ on my TSX & i used D2 on my civic. the super streets look like the best spring rate for daily driving not auto-x

Be prepared to hear a bunch of people who have never use the product to speak out of their *** because they read it on "interwebz". That being said, what is your goal with the coilovers?

just daily driver status. like i said, compared to the previous two sets of coilovers i've used on my older cars.. these have relatively softer spring rates for DD.

i also thought about just putting S-TECH springs on my Stock Bilsteins (i have an MR) but im not sure if it will be low enough and be able to give me the stance I want.

I have the Tein SS with the upper mounts. They work fine as a DD setup but a bit soft for spirited driving. They also get noisy over time.

I've had 2 sets of Tein SS on my car now. The first set never got noisy even when they wore out. Just replaced the old ones with new coilovers and pillowball mounts and its as quiet as can be. Great for a DD.

That all being said, I have also heard good things about the Megan Racing ones.

Hmm. Well I'm still looking for best possible price, doesn't seem like any venders want a sale though.

Most suspension ****'s on this board will tell you go with a proper set of shocks and springs. If buying coilovers then get nothing lower then KW's or Ohlin's.

That being said I just swapped my BC Racing's out for Tein Flex's. Haven't driven the car yet but rode in a car with the Flex's and I liked them. I had SS's on my hybrid hatchback years ago. Spring rates can always be changed.

I did however see the SS without the Pillow DSR84-KUSS2 . The Tein SS is great coilover for a daily driver, but not recommended for hitting the track in a serious way. You will likely reach the limitations of a twin tube designed shock quickly and risk failure. Generally you will find a great deal of comfort with this twin tube setup.
