Tein superwagon

[EGG80X]

anyone got a set

how good are they?

good enough to use for race track??

[TypeG]

yes
good enough for track
Cusco, GAB and HKS are some other options on coilover

[McChook]

If you are going to drive the Jazz on the street with the Teins, I hope you have a good Chiropractor

[wyl03]

i believe jus10 has a set of them ... i would wait for his "first hand" feedback :D

[TypeG]

Lol

[Jus-10]

Ahh yes...I do have them in my car :) Best single mod I have done to the car (cost no object)

Don't be put off by the general concensus that all TEINs are rack hard....most of them are I agree, but not the Super Wagons. It is a completely different class of damper set up more on the street side of things rather than outright track use.

I have my dampening set on about 12clicks I think (1 being the softest and I think it's about 30 being the firmest) and it offers a very compliant ride. The fact that mine is quite low would make you think it's going to be a bone-jarring experience, but nothing can be further from the truth. It offers outstanding performance for everyday hooning around the streets and if you were to firm it up even more it would be more than capable on the track (even with my current setup it would be fine for the track).

Not one person has complained about the ride quality (not even the wife) and most people who have been in it (who have a slight interest in cars/mods) a very impressed with the handling/ride. Petrovski took the car for a spin and he was hooked on them!

SO GO GET SOME!

[EGG80X]

its on order should be in end of the month

[Jus-10]

Where abouts are you located?

[EGG80X]

sydney

[z3lda]

how much does a set go for usually?

[panda]

out of interest jus10 how low have you set your teins from the standard ride height? i have a set of these ready to go into the fit, plan to drop 40mm :p

[terris08]

I thought only the Tein Type Wagon can be fitted onto a Fit/Jazz. Is Super Wagon also OK?? What are the main differences betweent the two?

[Jus-10]

My car is about 2inches 50mm lower than standard...maybe a bit more, though I am not 100% sure o nthe exact amount.

The difference with the SuperWagon is they have dampening adjustment as well as height adjustment as opposed to the standard Wagons which are only height adjustable.

[Jus-10]

Sorry double post

[panda]

so how the find that height for daily driving? i assume you are using your stock bumper, any scrapages?

[Jus-10]

No scrapes.....ever

I have always had pretty low cars though, so I always take it easy with driveways, speed humps, etc.

[Andys]

I have my dampening set on about 12clicks I think (1 being the softest and I think it's about 30 being the firmest) and it offers a very compliant ride.

So what's the range of height adjustment available and what do you have yours set at?

- Andrew

[Jus-10]

height adjustment...hmmmm

Well I can still go about another 1 inch lower I would say. So going off my guesstimate you can lower a max of about 3.5inches over stock.

I think they have the actual specs on the Tein site if my memory serves me correctly, though I can't remember what they are off the top of my head.

[Charn]

It is a good stuff, I used to have them in my previous car. It was a bit hard and bumpy but car handling really well.

[kuso]

Jus-10, you have a place where you upload pics of your car? I kinda would like to see with 2~inches lower than stock, what it would look like. Plus I know you have nice wheels and I have never got the chance to see them ^^

[Jus-10]

Here is a kinda old pic of mine lowered on 16s. I now have the JDM tail lights but no pics with them yet...

[spoon fit]

JapTuner.com

[panda]

ba led lights, already got em :D :p

jus10 quick question, did your teins come with a manual?

[Jus-10]

hmmm......i can't honestly remember.

I don't seem to remember there being one, but I could be mistaken. I don't think I ever read it if there was one...

[panda]

Ok, no problem, you see i bought mine second hand so i will just have to go with what ive got

Any problems with your installation? i assume you had it done at a shop :cool:

[Jus-10]

Yeah I had it done at a shop, but it is pretty straight forward.

Just make sure you get them to adjust the front stabliser bar (it only seems to be on the front passenger side)....if they don't, it will knock

Panda... Good stuff... How long it took you to change the coilover?
If you got spare time, a write up of the installation (with pictures?) would be excellent.. :thumbsup:

[Jus-10]

good stuff panda.

If you would like to do a write up with pics and everything I am sure a lot of people here would appreciate it.

I look forward to seeing some pics of the car either way.

Jus-10: If you don't mind me asking... what shop installed your Tein SuperWagons? Is that show the same people that adjusted the stabiliser bar for you?

[Jus-10]

I had it done at Bel Garage...and no they didn't do the stabliser for me...I still have to do it because it knocks like f'n crazy!

[^CarBoy^]

OH.. Bel Garage! ic ic.. Oh I know them aswell.. I'll go there when I get delivery of my suspension. :)

When you get your stabilizers adjusted can you let us know how to do it... or what shop you got the stabilizers adjusted... :)

thanks Jus-10 for the informations.. you are an expert :thumbsup: :D

[Jus-10]

Bel should be able to adjust the stabliser bar....just make sure you remind them to do it at the time.

I only found out about it recently after a mate had the same knocking problem....apparently it is like a 10 second job!

[^CarBoy^]

ahh ic ic... :) Thanks Jus-10... I will post pics of my Jazz as soon as i get all the parts sorted.. .i really want to lower it first and rims

[Zimp13]

hm... adjust front stabiliser bar??? how to adjust it????

[panda]

I had it done at Bel Garage...and no they didn't do the stabliser for me...I still have to do it because it knocks like f'n crazy!

dont hear any knocking so far after installing my teins :confused:

[Jus-10]

Then that's OK panda. If it's not knocking don't worry about it.

It's nothing major anyway.

It won't happen to all, but it is not uncommon that's all. I'm just saying to make sure they check it

[Zimp13]

hm... adjust front stabiliser bar??? how to adjust it????

no one knows then... hehehe

[spoon fit]

he mean standard one?

[Jus-10]

only when you lower it heaps...

and I personally don't know how to do it because I haven't looked yet...but I have been told it is very simple

[petrovski]

you need an allen key (spelling??) and a spanner and turn full lock to the side you r doing it (i think its one way) bc you have to reach in front of the wheel to get to it. It took the guy literally 10 secs on the ground.

however i have no idea where it is exactly :(

Pete :)

[terris08]

What would happen if the height (ground clearance) on the left is different from that of the right side of the car? Say if by making a careless mistake in which left side lowered by 40mm and right side lowered by just 30mm.....

Do we have to have the wheels aligned everytime we adjust the height of the coilover?

[panda]

interesting you say that, before i even installed my coilovers my right rear side was 1 ½ cm lower than the rest of the car, the wheel shop couldnt find the problem so ive compensated by raising the height of my coilover for that wheel only to match the height of the others, but doesnt feel right :rolleyes:

[terris08]

You said the tyre shop couldn't find the problem, are you talking about the problem which one of the rear coilover was shorter than the rest.....how come they coundn't find the problem?
.....but if there any real real negative effects?

[panda]

no the problem is not the coilover, i measure heights on all 4 corners before i put in the teins and the right rear side was 1 ½ cm lower than the rest

maybe that rear arm is not straight :confused:

[^CarBoy^]

Guys I just got my TEIN Super Wagons installed tonight and i'm amazed with this product. The ride is not bad... still almost the same as the original ride.. it wasn't that hard at all.... I got mine from JDMYARD aswell and installed by IS MOTOR in Rockdale.

[egads]

oh price on the TEINs please, want to persuade my mate.

[^CarBoy^]

I got it for $1750 from JDMYARD

[Zimp13]

well JDMYARD is planning to do a shipment of just all Jazz parts and accessories but the problem is they don't know what to get.. so what you think is going to sell the best??

[Jazzle]

hey carboy.. did u have to change the camber angles or other things like the stabilizer bar after chanign the suspensin??

[petrovski]

If you lower the jazz enough there is a bar of some sort you have to adjust because if you dont it makes a knocking sound.

camber doesnt have to be adjusted . . . however ive got teh pedders camber kit on mine set to 1.25 (maximum i can get apparently) degrees either side

Pete :)

[^CarBoy^]

jazzle: no with the height i've set the Tein Super Wagons I didn't have to adjust the stabilizer bar (by the way the height of my Jazz is according to specifications on the Tein instruction sheet.)... There is no knocking sound what so ever. You get the knocking sound when you lower the Jazz tooooo much. I just got my Jazz aligned in Bob Jane that's it.

[Jus-10]

(by the way the height of my Jazz is according to specifications on the Tein instruction sheet.)...

Thought it was still looking a bit too high!

:D

[^CarBoy^]

jus_10: yeah... i cannot lower it too low cause i take the Jazz everywhere and sometimes my fiance drives it aswell so it has to be low but not too low that it wont clear any humps and stuff like that....

[^CarBoy^]

tats veyr nice Carboy..
whats the setting? is it the lowest it go?

No it's not the lowest.... there is still more to go...
