Euro Coilovers

Yes coilovers are great. Currently have Tein Super Streets without the uppermounts. Theyre great and are adjustable both height and damping.
Your better off gettin the coilovers off a trader on Ozhonda, it would be about 1400 without uppermount, or 1700 with uppermounts. (rough figures). I got mine off a trader form here and many other Euro owners have as well.
If u got it from a shop, id reckon it would be a little more dearer than off a trader from OzHonda.
Oh dont forget that when u lower ur car, your gonna get neg camber. Depending on how low u go, will depend how much neg camber u get. So u may need a rear camber kit. Recommended one is Ingalls. Yeah i ve got one too, does the job nicely to fix -3.4camber.

As for installation of them, i wouldnt know a good shop as im not from Sydney, but the Sydney Euro owners would know of a few.

I just got my Tein ss, ingalls rear camber, comptech icebox and whiteline rsb all fitted on Sunday by Benjamin who is a moderator here.
He did a spectacular job. Very thorough and excellent finish. Highly recommended. PM him.

You can soften the rear damper to get the rear a bit more stable.

Yep the stock setting has the rear about 5-7 mm too high. Took me a few goes to get the correct heights all round. I actually waited a few weeks for it to settle as i drove and re-adjusted again and got it re-aligned. Mine was arse happy too until i fixed this.

The Tein SS is an unbeliveable product for the little money it costs.

yeh my rear is set to about 8 in terms of dampening, which is approximately close to stock. My front are set at 10.
Ben did the rear for me, i cant seem to be able to get to the rear dampening knob lol.
Car looks very nice now.
euro1986, remember to do wheel alignment and adjust the camber etc =)

Yeah the back of my car looks a little high, jsut a little. coz like my rear is on its lowest setting and the front its about halfway. Looks nice still.
May have to try that softenin the rear damper then.

Ive not noticed any correlation between dampner setting and ride height. Its the ride height you change for effect using the tools supplied.

With softer dampener settings, the faster the new springs will settle and thus will appear slightly lower than how it first appeared after installation.

**aaronng** · 05-12-2007 04:56 PM

Nah, the damper setting won't have an effect on how quickly your springs settle.

sorry to drag up an old thread, i didnt feel like there was a need to create a new thread for this. ive found a set of buddyclub racing spec coilovers for the euro and im just wondering if anyone has had any experiences with buddyclub racing spec coilovers? more specifically hows the ride compared to stock etc or is it too stiff for nsw roads etc.
