That looks like a good setup. So what is all the Pieces I need to install Tiens??
1. Tiens
2. Ingalls Camber Kit
3. Oem Bearings
4. Rubber Washers
Is this everything i need??? Do I need the Oem Bearings and Rubber Washers or was that stuff just taken off and not re installed on your car?
Can I do this myself? Do the Tiens come with instructions? Or do i need something special for the struts and such?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG][hr]

So do you think it was worth the money you paid? How much different is it than your other coilovers you had? BTW what kind of coilovers did you have before?[hr]

How are they after they have settled. are they tucked? Dang, all I know is that if I had the B&G on the lowest setting with 40 series tires, my rim would tuck. I understand the settling part, so would like to see how low they are now after a couple of days. nice setup though.

News on the coil-overs, so far so good, ride has been great. So stupid me I hit a speedbump going 10mph coz I didn't see that and now my exhaust pipe vibrates under my car.


Other than that, no problems here, just need to re-align my passenger's rear wheel, it's off, I thought it was straight. 
So yeah, thanks! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
Btw, goodluck on yours'! Enjoy! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Tien Type Flex replaces the OEM upper strut (pillow) mounts. It comes with it, just the front. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] But comparing Tien Type Flex and Tien Type SS. It's not that big of a difference. I say Type SS is the wway to go, affordable and ryde is just nyce.[hr]

[hr]I'm guessing the missing parts with the Honda labels on them are the upper strut mounts for both front and rear? For my B&Gs, I bought new front ones and reused the rear ones. Is it standard practice for full coilovers to come without upper strut mounts? [hr]

From the looks of the picture the car cannot go that much lower, but take in mind he has smaller diameter tires. I think he has 205/40/17 instead of the stock 215/45/17 size. That is why he has a gap and the Tein are made to handle at the optimum level at the height they specify. You think your car handles well, wait until you get strut bars all around and a roll cage. Then you will be able to feel the power around the turns. The tires will also have something to do with it. TEIN!!! why do I have to wait longer?
If you go to there website they give you the specs on how low they set the cars to and develope the coils for. The Flex are designed to ride about and inch lower than the SS.

i just got my tein ss ..
i'm getting it installed friday .. when my benjamins come in ...lol ... i'm soo excited ..!!
lol ...i'm just wonderin which part was aznvoyce missing .. i tried pm'ing him .. but got no reply .. !! am i missing those parts too ? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
i'm getting it installed friday .. when my benjamins come in ...lol ... i'm soo excited ..!! so aZnVoYCedo do you think the TEIN SS are a good investment, also i read you where missing some parts i am just wondering what parts they were
also is there any noise's from the coil-overs, some people say that coil-overs are very noisey, so is the ride as good, worse or better than stock, would you be comfortable going on a long trip with the TEIN's
from 1 to 10 where would you rate the ride comfort (1 being worse and 10 being best)
thanks later
