tein ss for ek1

[phil3842]

i am looking at buying tein ss, but on there website it says for ek9, will these work on an ek1

[tRipitaka]

yes..

[EK1.6LCIV]

indeed they will 100% bolt on nothing to do

[beeza]

While we are on the subject,Tein flex coilovers,are they the model up from the SS?

[phil3842]

thankyou all

[SiReal]

beeza - yes and are quite stiff.

[beeza]

Too stiff for a daily?
It's for my sedan,I will be tracking the car every now and then but I still want the daily comfort.I think the best way to achieve this would be the settings on the coilovers wouldn't it?

[SiReal]

well my mate has flex in his eg sedan and they are stiff even on the softest setting. i just bought those Tein SS, havent installed them yet but read the spring rates are fairly soft, hence great for a daily.

i suggest u wait till u find the right set.

[beeza]

SS sounds like what I'm after just as long as it will handle good in my sedan on the track...I would think plenty of people use them for the track,just have to play around with the settings a bit.

[SiReal]

well ppl do say SS are too soft for track... but great for street, hence super street.

u will notice a massive increase in performance vs ur stock stuff.

i did when i put konis into my accord.

[beeza]

Thanks mate.Wow,this is a hard one.
If it came to it,I would choose the SS but saying that I don't want to be psyching up for the track only to know my suspension is too soft.Hmmmmm

[SiReal]

think about it this way, how much time will u be spending on the track vs normal street.

put your money where you will spend the most time enjoying your suspension.

[beeza]

I see :)
Looks like SS ftw!

[phil3842]

[beeza]

Is that the F8kg and R4kg?

[ekdez]

pretty sure, tein SS will get the u distance on a track provided u have the all important swaybar and such:)

and ffs im kinda sick of reading all that shit about "is it too stiff for my soft bum" well dont get into car moddin if your gonna complain about stiffness.. if u change n e thing from stock then your bound to have consequences one way or another.. its just life deal with it. sorry for that rant.. but its the truth

but having said that.. tein ss for daily was very soft and almost felt stock for me and my seats arent one of the softest going around.. thumbs up for tein

[phil3842]

dunno will find all this out in bout a month when i am ready to buy it

[TEE.KAY]

ive got flex n its perfect in my oppinion, the softest setting feels the same as stock suspension and the hardest great for track
