Looks great! Mine are being shipped tomorrow. I can't wait to get them on the car. Please keep us updated with how it settles and rides in the coming days.

damn, finally someone got them installed but [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] thats not the lowest it can go is it???

 
Rep Power: 318

yea, don't tell me that's the lowest it'll get. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG] If those adjustment collars are in the same place now as when you took those pics, it looks like you've got about 3/4" more drop available.

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?

Nice, but like everyone else, how much lower does it go??

nice pics. and looks really good. and tell us how much you can lower the car by

 
Rep Power: 348

Well car is settling now. Ryte now the drop is pretty low, approx 1.75" you can go lower I believe 2.5" - 3". I can styll drop it more but just that I often have passenger most of the time. As for the ride, rides nyce, no more bouncyness and clanking noise and stuff. I feel that the struts are stiff good for handling and also you may feel some bumps or either that, I guess I have thin tires.

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.

 
Rep Power: 416

can you do us a BIIIIG favor and drop it as low as it can go and take pictures???
as for the coilovers not coming with top mounts, it depends on the kit.. the one with the top mount usually costs more tho.

 
Rep Power: 0

yea.. dump that car and take a pic

 
Rep Power: 360

how much?

 
Rep Power: 348

Alright, I'll do it later on today. As for the top mounts, the Type Flex cost about $1800 and I got my Type SS for $1119, so I guess the Tien top mounts are like $600 a pair? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

 
Rep Power: 348

Well, here are the pics at the lowest drop. Of course, I took these picks ryte after I dropped it more. So it styll needs to settle. Anyway, pics below! Enjoy! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] Oh yeah, my car's dirty. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG] (Note: I have (2x) 10" subs and enclosure and amp in the trunk)

1. Passenger's side from front-rear.


2. Driver's side from rear-front.


3. Passenger's side rear drop.


4. Passenger's side front drop.

and how is the ride on them .. ! i mean on the lowest setting ! ?

 
Rep Power: 0

that's a good drop. you should leave it like that

 
Rep Power: 416

what size are your tires? 205-40-17?
..i was hoping it would go lower...
thanks for posting up pics

 
Rep Power: 0

How much were they?

 
Rep Power: 348

The ride quality is very good. Not bouncy at all. But you will feel some bumps on the road of course that's what you get for having a dropped car and low profile tires. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] I put my damper setting to the hardest minus 2 levels. I even tried doing 75 mph on a 45 mph turn. Turn was great! Although I feel a little of under steer, or was it just me?

 
Rep Power: 348

Will do! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

 
Rep Power: 348

Yes that is my tire size. It should go lower once it settles.

 
Rep Power: 348

I got it for $1119.

 
Rep Power: 0

From Where??

 
Rep Power: 348

From my shop here down in Vallejo. Of course, $1119 is excluding the tax so really I paid nearly $1200
out the door.

 
Rep Power: 416

tein ss
it was for 1062 with the group buy but now its over so its $1125 shipped.

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]
