Hey,

For those who have the Tein Basic Setup on their Lancer!

How long have you had your setup for?

And, so far, has it made your ride better? or has your car gone to worse?
(meaning, is it causing strain anywhere on the car, mostly bushings, etc.)

I've had mine for about 10K miles and I got to admit that the ride is a bit rough, but the handling is amazing. Only thing is that the roads here in NY are a bit bumpy so it's causing alot of stress on all my bushings and I'm starting to hear Squeaks.

Nothing a little grease can't fix, but I will eventually need to get new bushings. Any ideas where to get some? Besides the Stealership?....

I just installed my superstreets last night, the ride is much stiffer than the OEM shocks. I have the dampening set to an 8 (max 16 is hard and minimum 0 is soft), which is what the tein basics are permanently set to.

I think the stiffer ride will adversely affect the wear of parts in the lancer. I am trying to take as many preventative measures as possible to reduce the possibility of stuff breaking due to the increased stress.

 

anymore?
