I am really considering tein coilovers for my 93 gs300, but I would like some feedback from any first gen owner who has this set-up in their car.I'm mainly wondering about ride quality and comfort.I currently have eibach pro-line springs in my car now and I am happy with the ride, but not the drop.Any input would be greatly appreciated.

i have heard they are good as stock ride quality and even better if you get that controller thing which you can adjust the hardness of it.

If there is anybody who has them on their car please let me know how it rides and if you could post some pics.

I don't have Tein Cs's I have thee HA's. They are firm as hell but cornering is sooooo much better. Definately not stock thats for sure but I am very happy with them.

How much did you pay for them and who did you buy them from?I have to ask about ride quality because as all you know these are not cheap and are not easy to come by.Anymore opinions or pics?

Can you tell me what mm spacer are you using and how do they affect your ride?Also how about a full sized shot of your car?

jdmdaddy

hey, I got the Tein's from Carson Toyota in SoCal for a little over a $1K. The guy I was working with, his name is Bobby. The phone number is: (800) 908-6968. He's awesome, tell him Craig Ponce sent you.
As for the spacer, I can't notice that its affecting my ride but i got severe camber issues The spacers are from H&R, I got them from www.optauto.com. They are 25MM.



and heres the full size pic of the car....

I like the way your wheels tuck.Thats what I'm looking for.Those are 19's,right?You mentioned camber issues.Do you have severe uneven tire wear?

jdmdaddy

yeah my wheels are 19". In person, the wheels don't tuck that far down. The tire is just slightly under the wheel well. As for camber, my friend you are in for hell! LOL. My rears are what I'm having a problem with. They are wearing unbelievablely fast. I have only had the wheels and tires on for 2 1/2 months.

Would it be worth asking our buddy {-.-} if we can get rear camber kits from Japan? Since there is so much stuff for our cars over there and nothing here.

jdmdaddy

yeah! I'll PM him right now. I really don't care how much it costs! It couldn't be more expensive than replacing tires

Hubert

I have Tein HA on order also....so it'll be nice if we can get a good deal on rear camber kits.

Can you please post a pic of your car with the camber so I can get an idea of how it is currently. I have 3* and looking at it, it is not that bad. Looks good actually. hehe

If he can get a set I'll take one too! Just pm me if he can get some.

jdmdaddy

I'll post pics later on today or when I get to work tomorrow. I'm not sayin it doesn't look good, its just @ $200 per tire...well you get the picture
As far as the camber kit...I don't care how much i pay! as long as I'm not going to have to buy tires every few months.
