For those of you that have tein coilovers which ones did you use and did you see a gain in handeling and ride comfort? Have any of you with them been to the track and can actually prove they are a better performance? I have teins on two of my other cars and they are the best but I just want to make sure they are really worth it for the F before I invest that kind of money into it since like I said I already have two play cars. Thanks for the help.

 

I used to have Tein CS coils on my IS350. From my personal experience, they are mediocre at best. One of them started leaking after a year. The lack of independent shock body adjustment alters the spring rate as you lower the car.

If you want to track the car, the stock set up is quite good. All you need is a good set of tires. If you want to enhance the esthetic and get a decent result, then I'd recommend JIC or comparable products (at this moment, there're not many to choose from) which allows ride height adjustments without altering the spring rate.

You can get similar or better performance for a lot less from other manufacturers.

 

Such as......

 

Or you can get a shorter shock body such as KW. They have far more adjustments such as compression and rebound. They also have a IS-F setup. There valving is superior to others. Most setups are all great from the coilovers out there. Its mainly up to you on what you want to do.

 

BC Racing? or Stance?

 

Im not really interested in any other brands. I want to know if tein's improve ride comfort and performance? I want proof not here say.

 

If you like the Teins and are happy with them i don't see a any issue with putting them on the ''F''. The looks of the F and lower stance looks like it handles great from factory. I think you'll be happy with the Teins on the 'F'

What about Springs?

 

If YOU want Teins them purchase them. Buy want you want.

All I was saying is that you can get simiarr performance for less.


BCR coilovers can be boguht for much less and offer very similar performance.

KW V3's are going to give you a hell of a lot better performance than the Teins will and probably cost about the same or a little more.

 

Also, I am pretty sure for the IS-F application, the top hats on the rear have to be reused from the oem set up.. Not sure about the fronts..

I will be trying out some Nitrogen Gas filled coils in the coming week!!
Fully adjustable..

What about Stance? How are those?

 

^^ Certainly sounds like you got your answer here, not hearsay.

Sounds like you already made up your mind to go with Tein, so why are you asking?

 

It alters preload, but can't change the spring's rate.

 

Try this if you want Tein Coils.

Thanks guys. I'm not dissmissing going with another option I just wanted to get some insight from people that have them compared to stock.
