TEIN PROBLEMS>>>>????

okay, i know a few people have to have the Tein full coilovers by now, they've been out for like 3 weeks, and i heard atleast 555 had them on his ride. has anyone has any probs with the steering etc...???? i have a real nice guy giving me a good deal on them, and i am just a little short right now, but im workin on the little money thats left for me to be able to buy them. I just dont wanna spend all that money for somethin that will just give me headaches. am i better off with the koni/g.c. combo? i reall y dont want it cause i dont like konis (dont flame, personal thing). i also wanna get REAL coilovers, better FOR SURE. let me know what s up!!![IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

I got mine installed on 8-23-02. get them, its a definite plus, set them closer to stiff than soft, and your car will ride like a BMW.

Stock shocks won't last long with lowering springs or coilovers because they are to soft.

Well I got myne yesterday. We were going to install it today but found out there were missing parts in my suspension, it's because of the first shop I went to, I got my coil-over sleeves installed there. I'M GONNA FILE A LAW SUIT ON THEM IF THEY DON'T BUY THE MISSING STUFF IN MY SUSPENSION!!! It's no wonder whenever I turn it makes these clacking noise it's because I dind't have any bearings. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] So my shop ordered the missing parts from the Honda dealer and it'll arrive on Tuesday. Hopefully by Wednesday we'll be able to install the Tiens' and Ingalls camber kit. I can't friggin' wait!!! Btw, the Tiens' looks sweet!

Well I got myne $1195 shipped from my shop. I don't have the instruction manual right now but it comes with it. There are some OEM parts that you will have to use with it like the parts I'm missing. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] For example you'll styll have to use OEM bearings and rubber washers, around Wednesday or Thursday, I will scan the instruction manual for you guys to looks at. I will also put up pictures. The Honda dealer said that they will have the missing parts on Tuesday so hopefully my shop will get them installed on Wednesday or Thursday. God!!! I can't wait!!! Btw, struts are green and springs are black. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

I'd get the pics when I get back to the shop. My shop is a one hour drive from me, actually depends on the traffic. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG]
