what is the difference between the different models of TEIN coilover systems?

I just need to be able to firm up my shocks a bit and to lower the ride height 2inches..

will the HA model do the job? I'm looking to get the best bang for the buck.. the HA seems to be the most

attractively priced at $975USD.

Please help me out.

Thank you

 

The HAs will also give you the stiffest ride out of the three popular ones on CL: HA, Flex, and CS. The CS will be the softest but will still increase handling performance. I have the Flex, somewhere in the middle. How firm you like your ride is all subjective and everyone's butt-o-meter is different. It is hard to tell what you mean by "firm up myshocks". There are those here who have the HAs and love them. Lowering-wise, any of the three will allow you the 2" drop you want.

Good luck.

 

arent they all adjustable shock wise also?

what i want is to eliminate that floaty feeling when going over bumps on the freeway.. it feels like the car is gonna lose control. .

 

Might wanna also look into TRD or Daizen sway bars then.

There's probably hundreds of threads on here about TEIN coilovers, but the punch line is that the models vary in overall ride stiffness from CS to Flex to HA.

 

i still love my HAs if i had to do it again i think i'd go with the HA's but this time with upper mounts... Even if i dont have the dual height adjustability.

JIC FLT-A2 is too stiff... So is Cusco And Tanabe, HKS is too soft... i want something in the range of TEIN HA, but with more stiffness adjsutability, is there anything out there like this!?

 

i had HA before, it was awesome in terms of best bang for the bucks. but i am telling you, it is VERY stiff. if you want closer to stock ride, forget it. my flex is a lot better in that matter

 

I have the TEIN HA's and I love it. It is stiff but IMO its not that bad. If you set it in 0/0 it rides just like stock, I think a little softer than stock if you ask me.

 

what is THe "Pillow Ball Mounts " do our cars need them? what happens if we dont put them on. ?

The HA kit does not come with the "pillow ball mounts"

 

Try doing a search function on here, its been well discussed in the past.

Also, does anyone know if TEIN is releasing any new coilovers in the future? A local TEIN distributor told me that TEIN is making a new coilover that you can adjust the height without taking off the wheel. Sorta like hydralics, kinda. Thats all the details that I got.
