lol sick. yeh i only know a little but am keen on learning. so its sick when people speak up.

MJP073 i would give more feedback on BC's as apposed to my V3's but only drove my s2k the other day... in my driveway... sitting on the floorpan. and they felt.........hard lol

i reckon for what you wanna do BC's would work. but do some research. dont rush it!

Wholesale suspension have them.

it's a Shock and spring combo. so it's like building a coilover.

If Teins are equal or less than the BC go for a Tein, better (Japan) made and all.

From Vividracing(america) Teins are just about the same price for super streets, 1k (us.) vs 1150 for the BC here. There is shipping cost to consider, but I'm ordering my wheels and intake from them anyway as they work out cheaper even with the 400ish shipping. Plus ordering more from them takes down the shipping cost.

Buying the wheels in AU adds almost a hundred to each wheel (from what I have seen thus far), so thats pretty much the shipping cost right there. Adding an injen CAI shouldnt hamper the shipping too much, so bonus! I do know a lot of the guys on acurazine use the tein SS, and speak well of them too. Definitely will read around some more though.

Thanks for all your replies and help though, first thread of mine past three pages woo!

haha nice work.

i had a mate with super streets and the made so much upper mount noise!! has anyone else experienced this at all?

but they are a better made shock than BC FOR SURE!!!!!!! just i hate creaking and squeaking so check that out too!

lol sounds like its gonna be a nice ride!

If you want Teins, contact Fulcrum Suspension directly... I ordered my Street Advance coilovers through them.. and the guy (Deri) was a pleasure to deal with. Answered all my questions honestly, actually recommended the cheapest model (Street Basis) instead of trying to sell me the most expensive one. In the end I chose the mid spec model (Street Advance) which has damping and height adjustment, but without upper mounts. The pillow ball mounts make the ride much harder and noisy, so using the stock rubber mounts make it a bit softer and very quiet. I saved a lot on shipping by using sea freight ($38) instead of the $300 for air freight.. I didn't mind waiting anyway. The quality of the Teins is top notch.

How much?

Right now they have it at $976 in the website, but when I bought it the exchange rate was slightly better, so it only cost me $945 with the $38 shipping cost. I paid $220 at Garage 88 for installation.

Checked out your tip Adrian - they only list the tein street flex for the cu2. (for 1500 moneys.) Will keep it in mind but kinda pricey for me.

**Adrian128** · 01-11-2013 07:30 AM

Send Deri an email ( deriw@fulcrumsuspensions.com.au )..he'll help you out, tell you the different options..and once you are ready to buy their webmaster will put the option there for which set you want to buy. That's why they have the coilovers for the RB3 Odyssey listed there, because I bought some.
