I noticed a big reduction in straightline traction going up 1/4 turn of damping on my Koni Coilovers so I can't imagine trying to punch off corners in a powerful stiff Mk3....

eh, nittos last pretty long....they're sort the inbetween tire- not really a street radial, not a true DR....they last me 2-4 summers....

For the 503rd time I'm going to agree with Adam. They're ok but when you get into the stiffer range it can be a little abrupt. Too soft in the first range which rides good but is where the suspension does alot of it's movement.
I'm still using them though until I can put together a good setup. Suspension's got to move to work just not as much as mine does at times
I'd think upper mounts would help tighten the entire suspension, kind of like susp. and subframe bushings. Isolating more movement to the shock/spring, less to the suspension mounts.
wow, teins kick ass.

thanks man. i'm pretty sure that srt-4 was on R-comps. now remember, my car was still handling funny cuz my rear sway wasn't tied in. i'm expecting to do even better once i get some endlinks.prsrcokr said:
well, i'm gonna be on and off here for a while, no internet connect at home atm. see you guys whenever
so i was looking at going to the teins also. the spring rates on the (Type Flex) style seem awefull high though.does anyone run these on the street? mines a DD but a Auto X warrior also. any reviews would be nice !
well I havent been since winter (I sold my yellow MR2 spyder). but im in the tidewater area and eager to see what this puppy will do. SO ANY feedback on those TEINS?
i dunno about the Type Flex's, i've got Tein HA Driving Masters. They do great on the street, you will feel the bumps in the road a bit more, but it's not bad at all. I was expecting a harsher ride than i'm getting. I wouldn't hesitate to put another set on a DD
i use to run tein HA coilovers i think they were 790lbs in the front 450 rear. this was on my mk4 and i loved them and yes i drove it daily like that with the dampener on the softest setting
^stiffer sway bars are in order. i need some money for some of those whitelines
mad tyte dori dori
EDIT: how did i pass tech at nationals with a missing lug?
