Default Need advice on Teinn SS coilovers

I've try searching but no luck. Does anyone know if tein ss coilovers ride bouncy at all ? I know the cs and flex rides smoother but how bout the ss ? Also, will this drop my 2gs with 19s down to no finger gaps ? Thanks

Tein SS drop hard. low... really low, but not as low as megans though.

I use to have tein SS and they were cool. They ride was ok. but it worn out fast, i wish i could have went with stance or jic at first, but instead i just got air suspensions.

I prefer you should go with stance, bc, megan, ksports, or better yet JIC coilovers.

teins... to be honest, they aren't the best when it's for a lexus.

That's my opinion though.

I had Tein SS on my 98 GS3 for two years, loved the ride quality and drop. I had 19's also, and was able to drop to one finger... I recommend these. They arent to expensive and are good quality for the buck.
I have Megans on my GS3 now, and i'm thinking about switching it out to Tein. Just looking for a real comfortable ride, and feel that the Megans are a bit hard.

What's your price range for suspension? Is that why your going with the SS?

If your interested in L-tuned suspension... i'm selling a set. As well as a set of RCA's... which would give you stock feeling comfort but grip, and lower your roll center, as well as a 2inch drop. Pm me if your interested.

1 finger on 19's??? I've got half a finger on 20's... but with springs Wouldn't seem worth it to me.

I have had my Tein SS for 2 years now and love them. I def. recommend them. But there are cheaper coils out there that are just as good and easier on the pockets.

New or used? If new, that's a great price. If used, depending on the mileage, i might consider buying some BC coils for a little more $. Just my 2 cents.
