Tein Ha coilovers for DC5R

[2002 TeGgY]

hey guys i done a search but nothing came up. i was just wondering what are your thoughts about the Tein Ha coilovers, as in ride comfort and adjustibility, etc. thankks guys

[vippy84]

hi there mate, how much are u looking to spend on sussy?
and What is your need for the coilover? is it just for looks? track use? or speed use?

is your car sussy still standard? can u find out for me how much is the distance between the wheel arch and the tyres of the front and rear?
also how far is the distance from the ground to the front bumper?

I wanna know this because I am looking to buy coilovers too and to see how low I can get on each coilovers. When I bought the car, I had it lowered already. So I am not sure the original height from the ground.

Cheers

im lookin to getting the coilovers second hand, so spending between $1,000 to $1,500. the car is now on stock everything, the the gap between the wheel arch and the tyres is HUGE lol. to be honest i cbf measuring, and i don't really have the time cause of study...

For that, go for SS. HA is meant for track cars. Driving them on the street means having your gf complaining everytime she is in your car.

[2002 TeGgY]

[m3ntAL_l2]

tein SS arent height adjustable ey? i dunno, i think i might just go with the HA, i dont realy mind the bumpy ride, tough luck to who ever gets in the back seat lol

i got HA is rides fine. both height and damper adjustable. but you do need to watch out for the pot holes and tram/train lines.

go for Flex if you can afford it. forget SS.

[2002 TeGgY]

y, will they break if i hit a pothole?

[DC5TYPER]

I had TEIN HA for my DC5R. There are great. SS are not better. SS are basic.

Front Spring rate 9kg/mm
Rear Spring rate 11kg/mm

Spring rates are perfect between street/track.

24way shock adjustment front and rear

Adjustable top pillow ball mount

I sold it second hand for $1.5k.

Great product and I recommend using TEIN coilovers. Will buy TEIN again in the future.

Hope this helps!

[2002 TeGgY]

SS are height adjustable. But it doesn't have an adjustable lower mount. If you want the adjustable lower mount, you have to go for the Flex or get BC N+.

I would not recommended it for daily driving. Great coilovers in terms of performance and value for money thou.

lol, too late gonna put deposite on them tomorrow morning and hopefully have them fitted sometime in july!

Dude, for the DC5 they are fantastic. HA is different with other cars. Not all the other cars have the pillow ball mount option like the DC5 has.

Take your advice from people who have Tein HA and especially from the people who have/had TEIN HA on their DC5R.
