H&R is supposed to be coming out with a cup kit as well...this summer apparently..

Tein SS, Tein basic and Koni..
imo, Tein all the way..this idea of destroying something to get something (Koni) is a cheap *** way of doing things..

so the Tein SS DOES come with the steering thing?

I know that for the Koni's, you had to destroy the stock struts to get it...so I won't have to destroy my stock ones to use install my tein's?

is that what you're saying?

i hope so!

SWEET

thats what I wanted to hear!

my winter plan will work!

I'm going to take off my goldlines, sell them, and then just reinstall the stock struts + springs in the winter.

A bit of a hassle, but well worth it. I don't want the Tein's to rust, and I don't want to plow the snow in the winter (-1.1" drop at the high point is still worse than 0" drop IMO).

Sweet...I can't wait till they're delivered!!!

keep the Teins greased and you can leave them on all year..
or some heavy oil (like what they use to rust-check your car)

i drove all this winter w/o raising back up (1.4F, 1.7R) and never had a problem..

but ya, i'll be selling my Eibachs for sure!!
