hey guys.. from searching in da tein website.. is it true that type flex can be adjusted for the ride height more than the SS?? and another question... do u people who have already got tein coilovers,, did u get them local or import from overseas..thanks heaps im interested to lower my euro too but just have to wait wen my car reach around 5000 kms at least
Hey PNR888, I went and visited the capalaba branch today.
I've booked my car in for monday the 26.
I'm getting the TEIN superstreet and not the basic as originally planned. It's what they have in stock and as I'm getting free installation and allignemnt i can afford it now.
I'm only going to lower it as much as i can without really needing a camber kit.
I'll do that and a sway bar later on. Should be done for the next euro cruiise :D
Chris,
Don't make your already hot looking car any hotter.
Chicks will be all sitting in your ride and no chicks left for us
Very Cool, Chris... Now I have to plan a route that can test out the improvenment of your Tein suspension set-up.Quote:

LOL I've got no bodykit, I can wind down an inch lower than Chris's car
lol, its ok steve i can only seat 4! and don't think the bodykit will stop me :p i'm not only going for 0 wheel gap , but 0 ground clearence as well. Downside is ill have to drive around for a while to scrape away the part of the bodykit that touches the ground...Quote:

serioulsy though, i probably won't go that low initially because i'll need to buy a camber kit before i do that (or maybe i should do that when i get the suspension installed initially?).
PNR888, i'm looking foward to the cruise, and finding out what route you have planned. bring on the corners :D
Yeah be careful Chris - you have seen the pics of the drop on my car. I have already gently touched the front lip twice in the short time I have dropped my car. Not good. And I don't have the body kit lip on yet :(Quote:

thanks for the advice yfin... fulcrum are using my car for R&D, testing various dampening rates, spring rates etc. and presumeably ride heights. I think id be happy with what you described... 2 fingers at the front and 1 at the back, i might give them that as a rough guide to the height i want. At the end of the day though if they recommend that i go slightly higher for perofmance reasons i'll more than likely do it. It should be on by wednesday next week - hopefully ill have pics b4 next weekend.
Just to explain more to do with the difference between flex and super street. Flex and Super Street have all the same internal parts. 35mm bore, shaft size and are both EDFC compatable. The major difference is that the flex also has an adjustable lower spring seat as well as the lower clevis mount which is the braket that bolts to the hub. This adjusts the height as well as the bumpstop striking height and travel. This makes the Flex illegal for street use in Australia, were as the Super Street has only the lower spring mount adjustment.
Tein coil over units that have been previously imported are the Jap spec and are firmer in spring rates and dampening rates. Most of the coil overs that are brought in to the country by Fulcrum are now Aus spec. The Japanese have a different concept to us as far as ride goes, as if they fit a coil over kit and they don't feel it is hard then they would not buy the kits. If you compare our roads to thiers there is a huge difference.
The Aus spec super street come with front pillow ball mounts were camber adjustment is required and rubber mounts every where else.
CL9EURO, thanks for that extra information. I guess i made the right choice going for the superstreets.
But, i wasn't aware there was an aus spec super street available yet? According to fulcrum suspension there won't be an officially oz specced SS untill they install those particular coilovers on my car and do some R&D to select the best spring and dampening rates.
Not too sure what you mean about the pillow ball mounts and the rubber mounts... i thought pillowball mounts were an option you had to pay for? (as you can tell i'm not 100% up with the tein range)
CL9EURO is from Fulcrum I think, Chris
Paul also owns an Accord Euro, according to my mate Stu(owns a blue DC5R)
