tien ss

[mecevans]

i found 3 month old tien ss coil-overs for $500 and i already put dibs on them. the guy lost the receipt and he tried to get me another copy but the people just tried selling him new coil-overs.:3d_frown:anyone running these? how did you like them and what settings? i will also get an energy suspension bushing kit for the front and goodridge ss lines. anything else i should be changing out?

I've got these. I like them, but I like a nice stiff ride. I keep them on the middle setting in the back and the hardest setting in the front... most of the time.

Not my cup of tea.

But they fair well. (if you don't roqad race)

If you want super stiff coil overs go for the RA's or Megans.
Since we drive tanks I like it on the stiffer side.

Just a warning though if you set the setting to max stifness if your girl friend haves a big chest she will hate them because they will bounce even with a steel bra.:boobs:

lol. so these are pretty good for dd and a little autocross? it was going to be either these or eibach/blistens .

The handling on these coilovers is awesome, I won my AutoX category in Suprafest '06 on Tein SS. I sold my set to Grimjack because they were too stiff for my tastes. Either way, you can always sell them for what you paid!

i've had them for a little over a month now. i set it at the stiffest setting and still not satisfy with the stiffness of it. partly because i have the car sit PRETTY LOW so the springs BARELY touch the seat and tophat cover. Good daily driving around the streets though.

 

[mecevans]

thanks. i will be picking these up very soon!

 

[mecevans]

got the front on today. ran out of time and i will be doing the rear tomorrow.

got to say i love these! totally worth the money. the car is lowered but set to a height where i can drive over 95% of most road obstacles. i actually went around measuring the clearances of speed bumps.:biglaugh:. i just have to do my alignment now.

previously had stock suspension. on crappy tires.

settings: 14 in front 8 in rear.

high speed:
could turn down setting a little more for trips.
very little body roll.( i could jump 3 lanes without fear)
not bouncy, perfect rebound.


low speed:
turn corners and not fear fishtailing even when mashing the gas.
bouncy on bigger bumps
wish there was a little more suspension travel
dips into bumps rather than filling in.
brake feel and distance drastically improved


tips:
if you have tems you have to take the rear moldings completely out.

remove 2 washer fluid tank bolts when removing passenger side upper arm bolts.

oil big bolts when putting them back on, makes it easier if you have to remove down the road. i used lucus oil additive.
