I need help, I have the money for either a carbon fiber hood, or the tein basic coilovers. I have to decide today which one to get. Thats another long story. I love the look of a carbon fiber hood, but I also think that one or more of my shocks are blown, not sure though. Yeah, right now the handleing sucks on the car as it is so I know the teins would be great but the hood just looks really damn good. What do you all think??

Teins

 

Couldn't you just get shocks? The Tokico shocks work with the progress springs, which you have. So you don't need to lower your car.

So I would get the hood then after that, save for the shocks.

 

i didnt know they made shocks for our cars.

 

RRM was selling the combo of Progress Springs and Tokico
shocks. So I'm guessing you could buy the shcoks themselves.

 

I think those are just for the ES not the OZ

 

Oh.. just noticed you have an OZ. They were just in my head because I have an ES. My bad on that.

 

You should contact RRM and see what they are cooking up. Maybe they will be out soon with something for the OZ.

 

does anyone know for sure if the tein basics use the stock top mount? Or does it replace the whole thing(nothing from stock setup)...

 

Ok so I got the answer to my question, yes it does use the stock top mount. For all of you suspension gurus out there how much will this help the handleing? Right now I just have the progress springs and rrm upper strut bar it sucks right now cant corner hard at all just dosnt feel like its gonna stick, lot of body roll.

 

id get the Tein basic, and the RRM Rear sway bar...help with the oversteer. as for body roll...front/rear strut bar should fix that along with the Tein kit.

 

well went away from the tein's end ended up going with the carbon fiber hood, to much cash for the tein's

 

Hey long time no see buddy. That carbon fiber hood is going to look sweet believe me. U have to visit down here again for another sclc meet sometime. Definately need to see some pics of your car when u get the hod on.

 

Hey chris ill post some pics up when i get the hood on. I am going to try to come down in a few months hopefully in time for an sclc meet that would work out great.
