Tein RAs are worth the money IMHO

 

also, if you are looking for a good street coilover Tanabe Sustec Pro IIs are adj. and good quality for $850

They have a poor height adjustment system compared to everything I named above and cost as much or more than at least 2 of the 4 sets. The TEIN RE is the lowest on the TEIN line that adjusts height independent of shock stroke which is very important.

Pillow ball cattaer is terrible. The worst is on TEINs. JIC and Zeal come with solid upper mounts with rubber bushings making the noise MUCH less which improving the upper mount style. The ZEAL and JIC's have this mount included in their kits. TEIN requires you pay more for the pillow balls. I don't think this is the case for the exspensive TEINs but as mentioned the noise is aweful and the gain is minimal

 

thank you for the replies. l have noticed in the past never settle for something other than what you really want. so i am just going to have to save. and thanks to all of you cause i would have probably been going out and wasting money on springs and kicking myself. by the way everyone has helped me in every possible way with knowledge on this car. thanx

i stand corrected

 

Will this Spoon setup be better, same or worse than stock???????

 

I assume that picture is the only one you coudl find. Those shocks won't fit out car. This setup falls into the same category with TEIN SS, the Tanabe Sustec and other systems (Mugen Lowdown) but likely more exspensive than most.

I would be interested to know what they cost. JIC's would be a MUCH better setup and killer deal at $1495. I would suspect spoon setup like that is at best a few hundred less and much less capable. I don't want to completely comment on the spoon system capability but I do know that their springs alone are not very performance oriented. If these are the same springs with spoon rebeadged shocks they are what i woudl consider no better than stock and way over priced.

 

I think they are less than the Tein SS, these are not even height adjustable. They are just revalved stock shocks.

 

How about the H&R RSS2's? I heard those are pretty amazing.
