ATTN: TEIN SS owners!

[.::F[L]Y::.]

hey guys,

Just wondering for those with tein SS on DC2's how low can they go?? I have been told they can go lower than 3.5"?

cheers

[|N|]

jon keith has SS .. might want to check out his car...

[elim]

Also check with Teggy-Vtiir, I believe he got SS too.

[redliner]

Hmmmmz keith has his on the lowest setting and it doesnt look that low.

[STTICH]

interesting.. would really love to know too.

+ i presume..SS for different model cars would hav different lowest height too?

his car is pretty low tho !!

Rear end.. sits just above the tyres... but according to Ben... if i take that little bit ( i dont know what its called) out of it.. it could go about half an inch lower... the front.. is not on its lowest as its scraping already... but could go down heaps lower at the front....

[redliner]

yeah thats because of his kit... i see those two guys everyday.

Teggy-vtir adjust his one a few notch from keith at the front and rear is all the way down to the lowest.
I know coz me n him was installing it in his car. I reckon max drop would be like 2.8-3" if you take out the helper spring maybe 3.5"

I've got Tein SS. I've got it lowered by an inch and a bit from memory...theres 1/2 a finger gap at the rear, and like 1 and a half gap at the front....

I haven't tried lowering it further as then it just becomes impractical for me 2 drive it...scrub every corner and speed hump...however im sure i can easly drop it another 2 inches...resulting in the rear sitting on or below the rim...and the front sitting on or below the tire.

Ill post pix hopefully in a week or 2 and ull c wat i mean

Also keep in mind that Keith has 18" wheels!
If you have smaller sized wheels, your cars naturally going to be lower.

if you guys are after something that is low then i dont think tein SS is for you. I have taken out the helper springs on my ones and for the rears it is sitting on top of the tyre. Pretty much it is the lowest setting possible. Fronts whoever are crazy, without helper springs the car is pretty scrubbing the inner guards.

If you want something low and comfy at an affordable price then i suggest D2 racing coilovers. They come with standard pillowmounts and have both height and damper adjustments, very good value for money imo.

im usng 15" rims atm though man

[slipn]

Im keen to get a set of coilovers in the future but just unsure of what to get or what to pay..
does anyone know who is a certified retailer for coilovers in Brisbane?
What are the best for ride and comfort? Ive been in friends s13's with coilovers and the ride way too harsh... they have to be girlfriend friendly

[bungsai]

tein ss is good.

Stay away from brands like cusco, GAB, stay away from the tein HA, RA, HR Flex series...they can be pretty stiff...its kinda hard to find super gf friendly coilovers...unless ure girlfriend is like suki from 2f2f.

[Jomsy]

my cusco's in my dc2r let me lower the car enough so it chassis rails are 1" off the ground with 15" rims, or to put it another way the tyre is sitting on the inner wheel arch and you can't physically lower it any more, i tryed to out one weekend just to see what it would look like
