TEIN Super Street Coilover and Spoon strut bar for Euro

[TypeG]

I have ordered my 5zigen 18', tein SS, spoon strut bar and mugen visor 2 weeks ago and 3 of them have finally arrived. Thanks to z from JDMyard since they offer me a best price I can get so far.

TEIN SS has be installed yesterday with a friend of mine(99.9% work done by him =)). Thanks Danny. He and me got pissed off by the design of the Euro since we have taken the whole boot trim off but we actually have to take to seat off. this and that took us 5 hours to finish and my rear has some noise now since my friend was doing it in a rush(wife coming back) but will reinstall again today and as well set the stiff.

Impressions
I have lowered it about 3 fingers and it looks just nice since I will have my Mugen kit install next week. After a day driving it, beside the noise, I am really happy with this coilover since body roll has been improved and I've been able to corner more sharp and exiting corners with less weight transfer, and I feel the car is a lot more soild feel.

for the spoon strut, we try to figure out how to put it on since there is many thing blocking the way.

Will keep this updated tonite. =)

How much did you get the Tien SS kit for?

Would be at least $1300 I would say.

Is the ride firmer and more bumpy?

[stephen8512]

i would say that it would be
but u can adjust the damper settings
my flex's, u can feel the road a lot more now but still, i think its pretty close to my OEM suspension
def. firmer ride though

[aaronng]

If it is just firm and the ride is not much more bumpy, then that's good. The Euro's stock suspension already transmits most of the road irregularities through because of the stiff suspension.

[stephen8512]

yeah since they are coilovers, it is firmer than stock obviously
but to me, comfort hasnt been sacrificed for looks.
its still a pretty nice ride for me

[TypeG]

noise solved by tighten the link near the sway bar =)
b4 i adjust to the hardest setting, it is a pain and now I set it to lvl8 which just nice. Same as my OEM ride and very firm I can say.
I even lower it some more today and it looks just nice.
More pix coming tonite

for the spoon strut, I got one for CL7 which wont fit CL9 but JDMyard has orderd me a new one for CL9 which is all good

To change the ride height of your coilovers, whats involved, just pull wheel off and screw up/down?

[TypeG]

yes just like other coilover, the kit comes with two keys for you to change the height
easy
