Default SC300/SC400 Tein Basic Coilover Kit ?

hey,

looking to get some input on this coilover setup:

http://www.luxurymods.com/ProductDet...D=299&fid=1019

Im currently on a budget so FLEX or CS are a bit out of my range... Basically, has anybody used the basic teins without issue? what kind of ride can be expected? any other parts recommended that do not come with the kit?

any info is very appreciated.

thanks.

If i were going to do it....... i would get the Supersports instead of the Basics...... more adjustability.......... and only 200 more or so............

The Tein SS seems like your best bet

cool.. as far as i have read, you can not adjust the stiffness on the basics.. only ride height.

how much stiffer than stock is the ride? if anybody knows the exact number (kg/mm) please post

thanks.

SS > Basic

Basic doesnt have adjustable dampening, right?

what are the spring rates of CS's? I'm assuming they're low, thanks

We have these in stock. I believe the SS has adjustable dampening. We have the tein HA (which is similar to the SS) set-up on our project SC3. Please email sales@luxurymods.com for more info and pricing

CS for that chassis are not stocked in the US anymore, they are special order only. Figure around 4 weeks or so. They will be discontinued soon as well, so if you want a set you should order them asap.

Not much else you can do about it unfortunately

As far as any technical questions or application questions, we have plenty of experience and have installed tons of these, shoot a PM if you have any!
