What does the basic kit include? Is that what you guys with Teins have or is there another model?

I'd go for the Super Street (SS). Same springs (8f/6r) but comes with 16 way adjustable shocks... much nicer!

Oh, and the Teg version doesn't come with pillowball mounts.

 

Sorry to whore, but do you guys know how much you can adjust the ride height with that kit?

 

no way man! you're gonna mod the teggy!


but I would go for the SS as well

 

Screw the SS, dump out some more money and get the Flex. Adjust stiffness from the drivers seat.

 

That's adjustable shock stiffness, and you'd get a coilover setup with 9f/4r?

Tein makes no real good setups for the standard integra, and thus all their decent stuff requires the ITR LCA...

If you want a REAL coilover setup, save up for the Zeal Function B6 or the JIC FLTA-2 system...

 

To adjust the Tein Flex from the cockpit you need to buy what Tein calles an EDFC (Electronic Damping Force Controller). It's a little box about the size of a turbo timer which controls four stepper motors that you install one of each of them on the tops of the shocks. It's kind of nice but it is a lot of coin to drop for not much added functionality since you still can only adjust the shocks while the car isn't moving. I guess you could play with your damping settings while at stoplights or something if you really wanted to.

Anyway, the Tein Basic kit includes fixed rate shocks and springs on an adjustable perch. They're a good idea if you really want to be able to adjust your ride height and don't feel like spending a bunch of money. But for that price I would go with Koni Yellow shocks which are better than what you get in that kit and either some plain old lowering springs if the ride height adjustability isn't that much of an issue. Or if you wanna pop a little more cash and get back height adjustability then some Ground Control coilover sleeves to go with the Konis. They might not have the cool JDM bling effect you get from saying that you have Teins but they'll perform better.

 

how would some yellows with some good race springs compare to tein ss in terms of performance?

 

That setup > SS... mainly cause the SS spring rates are not all that stiff, really, and the Koni Yellows are really, really nice shocks... but the SS would be an easier install with the ability to change ride height...
